Meridian Costco opening delayed

 

That Oct. 15 trip to the shiny new Costco in Meridian will have to wait a couple weeks.

The retailer moved the opening for the Treasure Valley’s third Costco location back to Friday, Oct. 30th.

BoiseDev reports, Costco will pay to widen Chinden Boulevard in the area near the site, bringing it to five lanes.

Costco will get a rebate on their upfront payment using funds from the State of Idaho’s Sales Tax Anticipation Revenue program.

That program allows a developer to pay for infrastructure improvements in advance, then directs a portion of sales tax revenue from the project back to the developer in the form of a rebate.
