By the way, there is no such thing as Free Trade with China. China manipulates their currency to start off.
Who do you think is going to pay for all the infrastructure that is going to be necessary to serve this 50 square mile Free Trade Zone??? Not China. Think about the rail lines, the power lines and the highways, the water and sewers. That is all going to be on the US government or the citizens of Idaho.
....and what do we get in exchange? nada.

The city of Kuna lies to the South of Boise and a 50 mile box around Kuna would include all of Boise and Nampa; a big chunk of the population in the Treasure Valley. So any firms locating in this area already have utilities. Even if the impact fees for development were waived, the city and county in theory make up the difference in property tax.
As to getting nothing in exchange you did read the part about having to invest a certain amount of money and hire six people right? So that means they can't “invade us with an army of workers.”
