Some density being added to meridian
1. Downtown Plans
In Meridian Development Corp’s 2017 Annual update, there was a new image of a currently proposed mix-use development in downtown Meridian. The original proposal has been struggling to get off the ground (I've posted the original rendering below). It was to be a 4-story mixed-use building with retail, office and a few residential units. The development corp. is working with Josh Evarts of November Whiskey Properties to redevelop the land.
The short story is, he couldn't get the development to pencil out financially and teamed up with Pacific Companies (partner in the Adare Manor project), to help get it built. They’ve proposed to redevelop a large portion of the block of North Main Street between East Broadway and East Idaho avenues into a mix-use development. I’ve been looking for images of the new proposal for awhile now and haven’t been able to find any. From the new image, it looks like they are proposing 3 new buildings at 4-stories each. They want to continue with the retail, office and residential theme of the previous project. The white building on the left hand side is the original meridian city hall building. This may or may not become the new court for Meridian based on their issues with the County court.
(Someone let me know if I've missed anything, this was a short abridged version)
Below is a link to an article that has an update to the whole process, both from the city moving forward as well as the Evarts/Pacific's proposal.

A 5-story residential building is going through permits in Meridian. This project will finally introduce residential units into The Village. It contains 166 units over podium parking. The big downside here is that they are age restricted at 55+.
