During the question-and-answer section, former Meridian Source reporter Geoff Lee asked for updates on a proposed Costco development.
“I understand there is a building plan in place that’s been approved by the city for Costco,” said Aalbers. “When that’s going to happen, when they can execute that, they have a whole year.
