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. Ben Galanos, Colliers Idaho’s property management director, said that he was seeing a higher demand for vendors and an increase in contractor and common-area maintenance costs. “Micron is adding a lot of jobs, and then as all these vendors and suppliers move here and open up offices here, that’s more and more employment opportunities that we’re going to see,” managing partner Jim Shipman, the

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.

Where will the Idaho Potato Drop be this year? In ‘the perfect spot'
Dylan Cline, CEO of the Idaho Potato Drop, had big news to share in September. He had “locked in the perfect spot,” Cline told an Expo Idaho official in an email, seemingly referencing the 2026 spud-themed New Year’s celebration. The move came after a fireball erupted at this past New Year’s event, shattering windows and injuring a child in downtown Boise. Cline, before he heard about the injury, celebrated the explosion and blasted the city of Boise, telling a police officer that the event wouldn’t be back in the typical spot close to the Idaho Capitol. Cline appears to be trying to keep that promise: Organizers had recently reached out to the park at Expo Idaho for a contract, hoping to shift the event to the Ada County property, a possibility that drew headlines throughout the Treasure Valley. Expo Idaho officials ultimately declined the opportunity. Publicly, they said it was because of paint and remodel projects, but privately emails showed at least one staff member harbored concerns about the event, according to documents obtained through a records request. “This feels like a foreseeable nightmare,” Administrative Specialist Kelly Sarich wrote. But according to Cline, it all worked out. “Please don’t feel
