With very few available commercial parcels of any size available in West Salem, the positioning of the former RainSweet location is an ideal asset for current industrial owners and redevelopers alike. Through the City of Salem's comp plan amendment, the property in question was rezoned to MU-III (Mixed Use 3). Housing needs in Salem are being prioritized by the City, and the MU-III zone is particularly favorable toward the development of retail and multifamily housing in the future.
