There are key factors driving energy for the launch of Idaho's most powerful enterprise zone yet - The CORE in Meridian, Idaho: As this image shows, open, developable land, newly completed flex space for technology and health sciences innovation at Pinebridge in the heart of THE CORE, and the presence of more than 43 active health and technology enterprises are creating a fusion driving growth in Meridian.

Grow at THE CORE

Partners of THE CORE believe the fusion of health sciences and technology can unlock a return on investment that will create the major growth opportunities of the 21st century -- creating high-paying jobs, supplying a highly competent technical and professional workforce, and attracting funding for research and development.

THE CORE is founded on the principal that available health care, health sciences, research and technology resources have proven to attract investment, stimulate business opportunity and innovation, generate state tax revenue, and enhance workforce training and productivity by providing seamless education and quality of life for residents. THE CORE is 10 minutes from the Boise Airport with direct flight access to and from 15 urban centers.

Outstanding physical infrastructure already exists in THE CORE – fiber systems, new roads, three miles of frontage along Interstate 84, as well as two freeway exits.

The creative energy at THE CORE is strong. In the last two years, 43 new businesses have been drawn to THE CORE. Continued growth/expansion/build-out of the area is supported by Meridian’s advanced health sciences educational component.
