City of Caldwell approves two commercial and industrial developments

CALDWELL — More growth is ahead of Caldwell as new industrial and commercial developments near KCID Road were approved in a landslide by Caldwell City Council earlier this week. Both applicants received unanimous approval by council members for preliminary plats that will expand the city’s efforts in creating a balanced ratio between its residential, commercial and industrial developments. Highline Industrial Park SubdivisionThe large industrial development, Highline Industrial Park Subdivision, will sit on a 123.69-acre parcel located at 11637 Linden Road, which is approximately 1,000 feet east of the intersection at KCID Road. The future industrial park is also near US Highways 20 and 26 and the Franklin Road Interchange on Interstate 84. Already in the area is the 214,000 square-foot future headquarters of CBH Homes, which was originally part of a larger 152-acre parcel, but had 21.82 acres split off at the northwest corner for the property. Of the 123.69-acre parcel, the development calls for seven industrial lots that range between 6.95 acres to 29.40 acres each, with an average lot size of 11.80 acres for a total of 83.61 acres.

Six Idaho legislative seats flip in favor of Democrats

Congressional races in the state saw Idahoans remain consistent in electing a uniformly Republican delegation, but elections for the Idaho Legislature saw a few notable flips on Tuesday night. These elections, which have each of the 105 state legislators up for election every two years, saw six seats change party affiliation in favor of Democrats on Tuesday, including in several swing districts around west Boise and Pocatello. Legislative victors in several of these races spoke to the Idaho Press on Wednesday on what they believed was behind their seats flipping. Each cited similar desires from constituents to have the direction of the state move away from divisive policies and toward addressing key kitchen-table issues such as rising healthcare costs and growing infrastructure needs. West Boise goes blueIdaho’s District 15, which covers a portion of west Boise, will now have full Democratic representation after incumbent Rep. Steve Berch retained his House seat in District 15.
