The meat-packing plant located on the east side of Nampa has been at their location of Amity road and the railroad tracks for years under different ownership and names.
I still remember a field trip there when I was in elementary school. After that trip I never looked at hot dogs the same way!The plant's resulting odors have never been a plus for the surrounding neighborhoods that have encroached around the site. Although the smell is much less today than years ago when there was also a large feed lot adjoining the plant.
The loss of that many jobs will add another obstacle to the full recovery of of our local housing market. It is mighty hard to buy a house or even pay rent without a job. While I don't grieve the loss of the odors, it is hard to see that many folks out of work.
