French fries in Canyon County? surly you must mean Freedom Fries.
As a almost Canyon Co. native we knew it as the smell of money and old JR never let us forget. Back in the day, we referred to Caldwell as a place where a fart smelled good.

I was production manager at Swiss Village when the JR Simplot Co. owned it. For many years the plant didn’t have a real waste treatment system in place. Just ask any of the neighbors, back then it stunk to high heaven.
Sorrento purchased the plant and made a big investment in properly treating the waste water. This has dramatically improved the air quality of the area.
The dryer they are going to install will be another big improvement to their plant, the area and the economy of Nampa.
Rather then be fearful of what the Sorrento Company is doing look at their track record since taking over. You have a much better neighbor now than you ever had before.
Cheers
PS, I miss the cheese curds too.

Maybe Nampa could become a Sister City with Pisa, Italy.

If only they’d bring back the fresh cheese curds!
