Comments on: CWI Has Multiple Venues https://boiseguardian.com/2015/05/04/cwi-has-multiple-venues/ A different slant on the news. Tue, 05 May 2015 15:04:35 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Kip https://boiseguardian.com/2015/05/04/cwi-has-multiple-venues/#comment-99468 Tue, 05 May 2015 15:04:35 +0000 https://boiseguardian.com/?p=11865#comment-99468 Looks like CWI likes to line the pockets of a lot of folks by leasing property. Where there competitive bids done in each of these locations? Doubt it.

It might be interesting to see who the involved parties are in all these leasing companies – we might find even more “sweet deals” and “triple the value” payouts.

So while many of these businesses report taxes paid, it may only be for the portions of the property occupied by private businesses.

EDITOR NOTE–JJ is correct. This quiet exemption applies to education, but not other government lessees. One can only hope the lease rates were lowered by the amount of taxes not paid by the owners of these multi-million dollar buildings.

Just like CSI in Twin Falls, they need a full campus not a fragmented campus.

The Sam’s club building is the Micron Center now.

The Culinary Arts program was suspended as a new facility is sought according to the website.

It has been my position that CWI administrators are seeking the grandeur of an on the river posh site for their own pleasure. They have not specified what programs would be housed at the new grossly over priced site, but you can be sure there will be beautiful admin offices perched right on the river.
Take a look at a satellite view of the main Nampa campus on 97 acres. It is at 5500 E. Opportunity Drive, Nampa. They are only using about a third of the available land. It is the allure of big city center of power exclusive address that led to this boondoggle. They should cancel immediately.
