When a new year begins, many view it as a time to hit a reset button. It is time to set new goals, make changes in life, and try to prepare for a better year. Often, these things are short-lived, and old habits kick in before the end of the first month. Some succeed though and make major changes and see their life get a little better. Some changes are good and some aren't, but not only do people see changes throughout the year, but also towns do as well. In 2025 there will be some major changes in Twin Falls, and around the Magic Valley that some may like, and others will hate.

Last year was not kind to many places that call Twin Falls home. There were retail stores that closed, restaurants that closed, and it didn't matter if they were local or big chains, they saw their time in the Magic Valley end. The hope is that 2025 will be different, but after a short time, the trend is already continuing in the new year. Already places have announced they are closing, or in some cases have closed out of nowhere, without warning. If the early part of the new year is any sign, there will likely be many closures to occur in the coming months of 2025. There are also new places already beginning to move in, and more will make their way to the Magic Valley, changing the landscape of the dining and shopping scene this year.

Over the last few years, the Magic Valley has transformed and many new places have moved in, while other places that have long called the area home have closed their doors. At times vacant buildings get filled in, while other places decide to build their locations, which changes the look of the Magic Valley. The town will continue to grow and more and more places will move in and others will go out. Magic Valley residents often don't like change, meaning there will be some unhappy residents moving forward.

Construction will begin on roads and new buildings, and old projects will finally be completed by the end of the year. For better or worse, changes are coming to the Magic Valley, and the area will look different by the end of the year.
