Fred Meyer announces second location in Caldwell
CALDWELL — Multi-department retailer Fred Meyer has announced that it will be building a second store in Caldwell as construction nears completion for its first location. After going nine years of not opening a new location, Fred Meyer broke ground in March for its $64 million store located off Middleton Road and Highway 20/26. Back then, Fred Meyer President Todd Kammeyer told the Idaho Press that the company was exploring building a second location in Caldwell and said that the company loves to be in areas that are experiencing growth. The second location will be at the northeast corner of Karcher Road and South Indiana Avenue with plans to open in 2028. This time, the future store has a combined investment of more than $100 million between Fred Meyer and Westland Development. “Caldwell and the surrounding communities continue to experience tremendous growth, and we’re excited to invest in this area’s future,” Kammeyer said. As part of an approximately 60-acre master-planned development by Westland Development called Karcher Commons, the new store and fuel center will lead as the frontrunner of retailers that will be coming to the fast-growing area. The mixed-use development was approved by the Caldwell City Council in 2023

A State Street stoplight could unlock hundreds of homes. Here's what's coming next
A major housing plan on Boise’s State Street is close to getting a long-awaited green light, thanks to a stoplight. Westlock Village emerged from development purgatory to apply for building permits in late September, reviving a 4-year-old plan to bring 256 homes to the corner of State Street and Ulmer Lane in West Boise. A key part of the project will span the intersection itself: the developer, Arizona-based Sweetwater Cos. , has agreed to build a traffic light across State to alleviate traffic and access concerns. The light should open up more than Westlock Village, too. At least 450 additional homes have yet to break ground across multiple subdivisions on and around the under-developed property that once housed Franz Witte’s Boise nursery. Westlock’s share consists of six three-story buildings with a fitness center, pool, playground and parking for 369 cars. Its 252 apartments will come in one-, two- and three-bedroom configurations, alongside four four-bedroom townhomes. All in, the 11.5-acre project is expected to cost $78 million to build, according to Corrie Brending, a project manager at the Capital City Development Corporation, Boise’s urban renewal agency. The total price tag includes about $3.6 million in public infrastructure expenses, according to the
