Amazon wants to drop packages by drone across the Treasure Valley. π
This isn't a concept. They've filed a conditional use permit with the City of Nampa to build a drone delivery center out of their Franklin Road facility. If approved, it would cover roughly 176 square miles, with a 7.5-mile radius reaching Nampa, Meridian, Star, Middleton, and parts of Boise and Kuna.
Order something, drone picks it up, it's at your door in under 60 minutes. Items up to five pounds, every day from sunrise to sunset.
Nampa Planning and Zoning takes it up May 26th. FAA approval would still be required before anything flies. If it goes through, the Treasure Valley becomes Amazon's 13th drone delivery market in the country.
This is the kind of infrastructure investment that signals a region is on the radar in a big way.
