Tractor Supply Co. will develop an 865,000-square-foot distribution center in Nampa, Idaho, marking a nearly $225 million investment in the local economy. The building targeting LEED certification can be expanded by 150,000 square feet, according to plans filed with the city’s planning and zoning commission.

The development team includes Kimley Horn and H&M Architects/Engineers. Groundbreaking is slated for this spring and completion is expected by late 2026 or early 2027.

Upon delivery, the facility will serve more than 200 Tractor Supply stores throughout the Pacific Northwest. The project’s blueprints also include a hazardous storage facility which is set to stock flammable, combustible and corrosive liquids for commercial distribution.

The site is at the northeast corner of Midland Boulevard and Ustick Road, about 23 miles west of downtown Boise, Idaho, and roughly 5 miles from Nampa’s city center. The location is also close to U.S. Route 26, Interstate 84 and Caldwell Executive Airport.

This will be Tractor Supply’s first distribution center in the Pacific Northwest region. At a national level, the company operates 10 such centers in New York, Arizona, Maryland, Georgia, Texas and Indiana, among other states.
