It's great you have a site committed to hiring workers 50 years and older! What a great idea!!
Friendly community with many churches and housing is at a lower price, as we are in the County.
Great medium sized city. Lots to see and do. Lovely scenery, very dry summer, lots of rain the rest of the year. It does cater to mostly younger adults and football fans. Not age-friendly when it comes to jobs.
In our community people are friendly and helpful. Kids seem to enjoy going to school, and easy transport by Lane County Transit.
