📰 News we're reading

1. Canyon Co.'s only Catholic school applies for brand new building (boisedev.com) — St. Paul's Catholic School, Canyon County's only Catholic school, is seeking city approval to build a $13.6 million new campus on West Blaine Avenue in Nampa, next to St. Paul's Catholic Church. Plans call for a single-story building serving preschool through eighth grade, with construction expected to start before year's end and last about 14 months, pending city review.
   

2. Rising fuel costs push Nampa Fire over its original budget (kivitv.com) — Rising fuel prices have already pushed Nampa Fire's fuel spending 64% above its planned amount, forcing the department to boost its 2026 fuel budget from $100,000 to $150,000. Leaders warn that if costs keep climbing, they may delay station projects or new fire apparatus purchases, though they insist emergency response and readiness in Nampa will remain the top priority.
   

3. Court documents outline moments leading up to Nampa parking lot murder (kivitv.com) — Nampa residents are learning new details about the July parking-lot killing of Jade Ramirez, as newly released court documents outline what investigators say happened before she was struck by a car. The records describe social media threats, witness accounts of a sister allegedly urging the driver on, and video reviewed by Nampa Police, as both sisters now face serious felony charges.
   

4. The 10 best U.S. cities to buy a newly built home in 2026, ranked (qz.com) — Nampa is singled out as one of the key Boise-area suburbs where builders are putting up a large share of new homes, often priced below existing houses. For local buyers, that means more options in nearby subdivisions but also higher wildfire risk than older neighborhoods, so checking insurance costs and hazard maps is increasingly important before committing.
