As the population of the Gem State continues to increase, growth is inevitable. As such, Nampa is seeking the public’s input for its future expansion plans.
Nampa’s Planning and Zoning Department is developing a Specific Area Plan for a southwest region of the city that was recently expanded into.
According to the city, “the area of impact is a provision in Idaho State code that gives cities the authority to outline how they intend to grow in the future. This planning effort aims to determine the highest and best use of the land, provide for and encourage connectivity for people walking and biking and deliver clear guidance to community members, city staff and decision-makers on how we can anticipate this area to develop.”
The public is invited to learn more about the planning process for the region and to view draft plans and give feedback on the proposals on May 15 from 4:30-6:30 p.m. at Lone Start Middle School, 11055 Lone Star Road in Nampa.
Meanwhile, Exyte, a technology facilities design firm, recently expanded into Nampa’s Fuller 84 Industrial Park on the north side of the city. Three subsidiaries of the company’s Business Area Technology and Services will locate in Nampa and expand in the coming years.
Exyte plans to have its Diversified Fluid Solutions, Exyte Technology and NEHP divisions located in Nampa. DFS designs and manufactures delivery systems for the semiconductor industry, the company stated, while Exyte Technology develops, manufactures and maintains controlled production environments and cleanroom products for customers around the world. NEHP is focused on modular design and construction for semiconductor fabrication sub-systems.
“Any time we can welcome growth from the semiconductor industry into Nampa is excited,” said Mayor Debbie Kling. “We see a huge need for the products created in the semiconductor industry worldwide and we are thankful they chose to expand their operation in Nampa, providing yet another excellent job opportunity for our residents and the Treasure Valley.”
Robyn Sellers, the director of Economic and Community Development for Nampa said that having Exyte locate in the city is a “significant expansion” into the city’s semiconductor industry, adding that it will add more than 250 new full-time jobs, “which are estimated to pay well over Canyon County’s annual average wage.”
The three companies will be housed in more than 300,000 square feet of space and are expected to be open by the end of the year.
“This new campus in Nampa is an important milestone in our growth journey,” said Dr. Michael Löffelmann, senior vice president of Exyte’s Business Area Technology and Services. “As our semiconductor clients continue to invest in the U.S., we will expand our manufacturing capacities to support their growth. In our site selection process, it became clear that … Idaho, Canyon County and … Nampa are committed to supporting our company expansion.”
The current headquarters for Exyte’s Diversified Fluid Solutions is in Boise, and the Nampa location will be the first facility in the U.S. for Exyte Technology. NEHP also has facilities in Arizona, Texas and Vermont.
