Jerome, Idaho processor expands … City’s economic development director says more growth is on the way

A Jerome specialty dairy processor is expanding for the fourth time in five years. And it’s just one part of Jerome’s booming business growth, according to the city’s economic development director.

Spokane, Wash.-based Commercial Creamery Co.’s Ee-da-how Specialties plant in Jerome has launched an expansion and upgrade project valued at about $3 million, said Earl Gilmartin, Ee-da-how’s corporate engineer. The project is third in the company’s four-phase Jerome growth strategy, Gilmartin said.

The Gilmartin family purchased the Ee-da-how property from a local dairy cooperative in 1977 and gradually has expanded its main production facility on South Birch Street to about 180,000 square feet of manufacturing, storage and office space. The expansion will add about 7,000 square feet.

The company uses its Spokane plant largely for research and development as well as administration.
