Napa is gearing up for the grand opening of its first Costco in the southern part of the city, near the Napa River. This development marks a significant milestone for the community. The new Costco is being constructed on a site that previously housed a pipe manufacturing company, which ceased operations in 2004.
The new Costco will span 157,417 square feet and will include a 14,000-square-foot gas station, providing ample space and convenience for shoppers. Additionally, a mixed-use development called Riversound is emerging in the vicinity. This development will feature approximately 945 new homes, with a portion designated for affordable housing.
Historical aerial images show that the area was a swampy floodplain in the 1940s, before it transformed into an industrial zone. During that era, the Napa River was redirected, a change evident in the aerial photographs from the time.
