Subject Support for Proposed Costco at Chinden and Ten Mile
Message Re: Support for the proposed Costco at Chinden and Ten Mile
Please consider the following points
• The blueprint for Meridians growth has already been
established. Residential developments have been and continue to be approved and
built bringing a need for increasing support of infrastructure and services.
• Ten Mile from the interstate exchange most of the way to Chinden has
already been increased to 4 lanes which equates to it already being identified as a
main artery for the city. Chinden is already a major artery connecting west to the
interstate and Caldwell and feeder from Star and the north part of Nampa into
Meridian and the Hwy 55 corridor, and as such with or without the new developments
that have and are occurring on Chinden, must be enlarged to 4 to 5 lanes along its
entire length. Therefore, let’s have Costco, and other developers pay for at least part
of that infrastructure.
• As a retail employer, the area will be hard pressed to find a company whose
pay and benefits, and working conditions equal those of Costco.
• Personally, Costco is one of my ‘Go To Stores’ and since I live on Black
Cat between Cherry Lane and Ustick, it would greatly benefit me as I would be
driving significantly less distance and off the congested high speed interstate.
I understand those living near Ten Mile and Chinden not wanting change – but there
will be change. Do we want more storage facilities that ….are not the best looking
and can house everything from drug s to explosive and hire 5 people, or a thriving well
cared for business that is a good neighbor and supports significant well above average
employment. If I could have my wish, I’d go back 20 years when most of the land
around Meridian was beautiful, very productive farm land and the view out my back
door was a red barn. But as long have we have more people, it requires more housing
and more support services. Let’s choose the best that is available.
Thanks for your consideration
