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.

Founding Partners

The City of Meridian, Idaho State University and their energized partners recognize innovations in health sciences, research and technology will continue to be the stimulating force of the economy. THE CORE is a vibrant place where educators, researchers and businesses collaborate to expand the economic landscape of the state and region for Idahoans.

Treasure Valley developers have embraced Meridian’s vision and its targeted approach to leverage resources toward the greatest potential return; they are clustering stakeholders to enhance competition and regional innovation.

The creative energy at THE CORE is strong. In the last two years, 43 new businesses have been drawn to it. Continued expansion of the area is supported by the area’s health sciences growth.

THE CORE is strengthened by business partners that are leaders in health services and veterinary medicine – such as Bodybuilding.com and MWI Veterinary Supply Inc. Other visionary business partners at THE CORE include DMB Management, Gardner Ahlquist Development, Idaho Urologic Institute, Complex Care Hospital, Silverdraft Studios, PKG User Interface Systems, and Touchmark’s Meadow Lake Village.
