Caldwell Idaho chosen as site for new start-up company
After months of searching for a location from Boise to Caldwell AFI Packaging has selected a location west of Caldwell Idaho just east of the town of Greenleaf as the location for a new start-up company. The new company managed by Drew Dalgetty will consist of approxiately 27,000 square feet and employ approximately 15 employees when complete. The company will produce on site allergen free cake and bread mixes plus other allergen free products. A contract for the product has already been secured and there is interest from other companies including some franchises.
Mike Mussell, owner of Mussell Construction is purchasing the site for the new business and completing an existing structure which is pictured. Drew Dalgetty states the company, AFI Packaging is working and partnering with another midwestern company on the project and states the national interest for the product is strong. Dalgetty looked at locations in Boise and Nampa but chose the site west of Caldwell due to it's easy access to I-84 and the low comparable traffic count for the site. This was important because the site will see daily deliveries and pickups from large semi trucks.
I was fortunate to work with Mike and Drew and assisted them in locating the site they chose west of Caldwell. I am elated that the site in Caldwell was chosen over all the other locations that were considered. Construction will commence towards the end of June, 2008 and completion is estimated to be 90 days after construction begins. This is a positive addition to the city of Caldwell which has made recent news for it's proactive attitude which has included the recently completed Indian Creek Project and the Franklin Road Interchange which is scheduled to be completed the fall of 2008.
