Plans for a community center on five city-owned parcels will push the transformation of downtown in Meridian, Idaho into high gear.
Autum Robertson reports that the Meridian Development Corporation (MDC) is seeking project proposals for the Civic Block on land owned by MDC and the city of Meridian. The parcels up for development grabs include the existing Centennial Park, a parking lot, and a community center. MDC is seeking a mixed-use development that achieves iconic status for the city's quickly changing downtown. The project area is designated as both an Urban Renewal District and an Opportunity Zone.
