Walmart is Coming.

What is happening,

Walmart is coming to Cole Village.

While WBNA not nessisarily opposed to having Walmart in our neighborhood. We are however concerned with 24/7 deliveries. And dissapointed with the way this has been handled.

The 5 southern most retail spaces at Cole Village are be combined for a new tennant a Wallmart Neighborhood Market like this. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walmart_Market ) this will displace 4 buisnesses currently residing on the site.

Disposition of impacted tennants

  • Honks (Relocating to the old Rite Aid location on Fairview)
  • Ace Hardware (vacant)
  • Advance America (Unknown)
  • Moxy Java (Cole Village LLC will not be renewing Moxy’s lease)
  • Hobby Town USA (Will be relocated to the El Tenampa building in the N/E Corner of Cole Village)

The development company for Walmart has won their appeal to Boise City’s Design Review Committee to remove the condition of limited delivery hours. (WBNA tried to appeal but were too late to the table)

WBNA believes not enough was done to notify the neighbors or impacted buisnesses and is searching for a way to appeal the 24/7 delivery provisions

Third Annual Seedy Seed Swap!

Time to start thinking of planning your garden.
The 3rd Annual Seedy Saturday Seed Swap is set for Saturday, Feb. 18, from 1-4 pm. We are thrilled to be partnering with the Idaho Botanical Garden, and will have the swap on their beautiful grounds (under cover, of course!). The Seed Swap will be in the Folly Building and we’ll have ongoing seed saving demonstrations in the Cottage. Address is: 2355 N. Old Penitentiary Rd., Boise, Idaho. Bring yo…ur own garden-saved seeds to swap with other Treasure Valley gardeners, bring your questions about seed saving and gardening, and we’ll have experts on hand to help you. There is no charge to enter the Idaho Botanical Gardens but we will ask for a simple donation ($1 or more) to cover basic expenses. So bring your seed, envelops to take seed home in and any seed stories you would like to share with us.
