WARBIRD ROUNDUP THIS WEEKEND!

This weekend, Nampa’s skies will be filled with patriotism and history. The 24th annual Warbird Roundup lands at the Warhawk Air Museum August 29–30—Idaho’s biggest two-day gathering of living warbirds. More than 25 flying legends from across the country roar in: Mustangs, Warhawks, a P-38 Lightning, Bearcat, Texans, F-15 Strike Eagle (Saturday only), and more. There will also be a special guest speaker Kim "KC" Campbell. Get close on the ramp, feel the engines in your chest and watch them fly.

Gates open at 8 a.m. Flying starts around 10 a.m. Food trucks, a kid zone, vendors, and full museum access fill the day. Kids get in free with a paid adult. Parking is at the Ford Idaho Center with shuttles to the field (more info below).

Two days of aviation, history and unforgettable sights -- happening right here in Nampa. Don’t miss it! (Check out their schedule below/on website for more info - schedule is approximate and weather/warbird dependent!)

Know Before You Go:

There is NO general parking at the museum during the event. All guests must park at the Ford Idaho Center, where parking is FREE. Air-conditioned shuttles will run from 7 AM–6 PM, including an accessible shuttle. Handicap parking at the museum is extremely limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

TERRY REILLY HAS BEEN SERVING OUR COMMUNITY FOR 55 YEARS!

Congratulations to Terry Reilly Health Services, a community health center founded in Nampa 55 years ago. Since 1971, Terry Reilly has grown to meet healthcare needs for more than 44, 000 patients in Ada, Canyon, and Owyhee counties. TRHS is still headquartered in Nampa and employs nearly 600 people across the valley who are making sure our no healthcare need goes unmet. 

If you'd like to support their non-profit mission, please consider purchasing a raffle ticket for a chance to win ​​a free garden shed. Proceeds benefit the Terry Reily Patient Assistance Fund. 

Comprehensive Plans are a critical planning tool that shapes how Nampa grows, develops and preserves what matters most. From land use and housing to transportation and parks, the Comprehensive Plan will serve as a roadmap for city leaders, developers, and residents to ensure a vibrant, resilient and inclusive future. Because it's so important, this is a three-year process.

Last year, Nampa's Planning & Zoning staff began the process by spending hundreds of hours through the summer and fall meeting with YOU - our community - at events, in public spaces, and in classrooms to discuss what you wanted Nampa to be 25 years from now.

We took that feedback to several focus groups and steering committee meetings and developed a series of objectives and strategies to implement your vision for the future.

Now it's your turn to make sure we're on the right track.

Please review the objectives and strategies shared in this survey and help us refine the plan with your feedback. We know your time is precious and that the community cares how we grow in the future. Thank you for being part of this important planning process. 

Please feel free to visit our website: cityofnampa.us/2050 for more information, or you may email us at PZLR@cityofnampa.us.

Open House Sept 1 @6pm,
Nampa Police Station

We hope you’ll join us on Tuesday, September 1 at 6 p.m. at the Nampa Police Station, (820 2nd Street S) for an open house in the Real Time Crime Center (RTC). The Real Time Crime Center is part of Nampa's Integrated Command Center - learn more about it here!

Because seating is limited in the Emergency Operations Center, we’ll start with a presentation in the Baker Room (off the main lobby) and then take smaller groups to tour the RTC.

Other Nampa PD staff will be on hand to discuss other areas of our work, too. We hope to see you there!

You're invited to breakfast with Mayor Bruner on Wednesday, September 2, at 7:30 AM at LeBaron’s Cafe (1210 2nd St S).

This month's focus will be hearing updates from Nampa's various boards and commissions!

Mark your calendars for the first Wednesday of every month for this event.

Reminder: While this is not a hosted event, food and drinks are available for purchase.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT ON SOCIAL

Thank you to Keith Burrell with Idaho News 6 (KIVI) for highlighting a restoration project on Nampa's historic train located in Lakeview Park.

"After standing still in Lakeview Park for nearly 70 years, restoration of Union Pacific Number 616 is beginning to move forward. The locomotive was built in 1907 and spent nearly 30 years working around Nampa before arriving at the park in 1958.

The Treasure Valley Historical Railroad Society ultimately hopes Number 616 can operate again, although that remains a long-term ambition requiring additional evaluations, resources and a new location with usable railroad track."
