SWEENY — Stewart’s Food Store is looking to be a new destination for meat processing, and the Sweeny City Council voted to make that effort a little easier to bring to fruition.
The council approved a recommendation from the Sweeny Economic Development Corp. to provide an economic incentive of $70,000. Stewart’s application to the agency contained a request for $122,326.98, but the agency didn’t have that much money available.
