Meridian raised taxes for prosecution office. It's going to cost more - and take longer
When Meridian homeowners open their property tax bills in November, they’ll see an increase of roughly $20 for every $100,000 worth of assessed property value as the city’s public-safety levy takes effect. The $5 million levy was intended to boost public safety measures in the fast-growing city, including by raising police salaries and retaining more than a dozen firefighters hired under a federal grant. But one of the services voters agreed to fund — the formation of an in-house prosecution unit — isn’t ready to come online. And, thanks to new estimates increasing the price tag of the unit by hundreds of thousands of dollars, it likely won’t be for at least another year. According to Meridian City Attorney Bill Nary, recent changes to Ada County’s court calendar forced the city to reevaluate how many attorneys it would need to stand up the new office — and end its prosecution contract with Boise after more than two decades. In an interview with the Idaho Statesman, Nary said that Meridian needs roughly double the number of prosecutors that were expected when the levy went on the ballot in 2025. That change is enough to bring the estimated ongoing cost of the

Micron expansion will impact all sectors of Treasure Valley real estate
BOISE — Micron’s $50 billion expansion loomed large over Colliers’ annual commercial real estate conference, Outlook . Company leaders who participated in the real estate provider’s Wednesday afternoon panel, who analyzed key drivers of the local industry, heard the tech giant’s latest move — which is projected to create nearly 18,000 new jobs in the Treasure Valley — as leaving a significant footprint on the area’s market. “There’s a reason (Micron) is brought up in almost every conversation that I have in my office in regards to industrial real estate,” Michael McNeight, partner in industrial brokerage services, said. “A $50 billion investment in Boise, the construction of two leading-edge semiconductor fab plants, and the creation of thousands of direct Micron jobs.” But he’s seen increased demand across every industrial product type, from distribution to storage facilities.
