“I want to take the time to thank both the Southern Idaho Economic Division and the City of Twin Falls for the 'can do' spirit and the creativity needed to complete Dell's call center. And (we) want to compliment you on your ability to solve all existing issues and to think ahead to solve future issues before they surfaced.”
-- Ryan Morris, senior vice president of CB Richard Ellis
CB Richard Ellis is a national site selection firm selected by Dell Computer Corporation to find a location for a new satellite technical support center where over 250 technical positions would be filled.

“Building this new facility is a win-win for both the Magic Valley and WestFarm Foods. The communities and dairy farmers in region get a strong and efficient processor of local milk and we get a world-class facility in a fast-growing region with a favorable business climate.”
-- John Mueller, president and CEO of WestFarm Foods.
WestFarm Foods' Jerome Plant in July 2001, initiated construction on a technologically advanced 70,500 square foot dehydration facility along side its existing milk condensing plant.

“We find the advantages to relocating to Jerome have been numerous and very positive for us. Jerome is centrally located and is 12 hours from every major metropolitan city in western North America. This prime location allows us to ship faster to our customers in the west as well as the east. In addition, our rent has dropped by 66 percent, our utility rates are cheaper, and the cost of doing businesses is so much better here than in northern California. We do not find one competitive disadvantage to being in Jerome --there are only positive advantages for our business and our employees.”
-- Robert Myrland, partner and Chief Operating Officer of SAi Screen Works.
SAi Screen Works (Strategic Alliance International) in Jerome is a garment-embellishment company who moved its production plant from northern California to downtown Jerome in April 2001.

“For us to remain in Twin Falls, it was vital that we successfully negotiate with the City access these two nearby buildings. We are expanding into new locations as well as our manufacturing capabilities so additional storage space close by was needed in order for us to keep our current location. The City and The Urban Renewal Development Agency were very cooperative and helpful to us in finalizing lease of this space.”
-- Larry Everton, president of Everton Mattress.
Everton Mattress in Twin Falls recently confirmed a lease with the City to take over the two buildings next door to their location to be used for storage.
