Congrats to our partners at City of Nampa, Idaho on their recent announcement with Tractor Supply Company! The approximately 865,000 square-foot facility is expected to create more than 500 new full-time jobs for local residents and represents a nearly $225 million investment in the local economy. “Nampa stood out as an ideal site as we evaluated distribution center locations to better serve our customers in the Pacific Northwest region,” said Colin Yankee, chief supply chain officer at Tractor Supply. The distribution center will eventually serve more than 200 Tractor Supply stores located throughout the Pacific Northwest, including nearby stores in Middleton, Kuna and Emmett, Idaho. This is the Company’s first distribution center located in the Pacific Northwest. Read the full press release here: https://lnkd.in/g_4833vr
