A quick glance at the Boise skyline is all that’s needed to understand that Boise is enjoying a period of unprecedented activity. JUMP has opened its doors and Simplot Corporate headquarters will follow soon, bringing increased cultural opportunities and new life to downtown. City Center Plaza is just months from completion, when it will become the home to the Boise State Computer Science Department, local company Clearwater Analytics, expanded convention space for the Boise Centre, and a new downtown transit hub. Three new hotels are under construction, as are two major residential developments, bringing us closer to our goal of 500 new hotel rooms and 1,000 downtown residential units by 2020. But these impressive bricks-and-mortar projects tell only part of the story. Boise’s retail sector is also thriving, with a wide variety of local and national retailers, restaurants and local boutiques choosing downtown because of its high level of activity and broad consumer base. With the highest concentration of jobs in the state, downtown employers are capitalizing on the growing desire by many to live and work in Boise’s innovative urban center. Downtown businesses and their employees are on the forefront of technology and innovation, and many of Boise’s highly skilled workers have their offices in the heart of our city. And Trailhead, Boise’s own start-up hub, is planting the seeds for Boise’s future economy and building our city’s next great companies. Education is gaining a foothold in downtown. In addition to Boise State’s expanded downtown presence, the University of Idaho opened their Law and Justice Learning Center in downtown this year, and the College of Western Idaho will be LIV Boise aims to further the city’s vision of making Boise opening a downtown campus in the coming years. the most livable city in the country.

It is also about anyone who for any reason had to leave their homeland, but still maintains a connection to their home country and their identity.

From start to finish, FY 2012 embodied the sense of wonder, invention and pure fun that began with The Perfect Fit: Shoes Tell Stories, an exhibition about objects everyone can relate to—shoes! More than 100 artists delighted viewers with stunning shoe-inspired artworks that asked us to consider what shoes say about our values and culture. Hundreds of visitors responded by writing their own shoe stories in a gallery comment book, and BAM partnered with Dillard’s and local social organizations to collect new shoes for families. The excitement continued withComics at the Crossroads, an exhibition that featured artwork by 40 Northwest artists. BAM engaged aspiring comics artists through Comics Art Mob, a day of workshops and demonstrations. Audiences also were awestruck by the vast installation by artist Mike Rathbun, a soaring wood sculpture that ascended 20 feet in the air and appeared to pierce the outer walls of the Museum’s Sculpture Court. A captivating time-lapse film showing the installation in progress provided insight into the complex process of designing and building the sculpture. In January 2012, BAM launched a year-long celebration of the Museum’s 75th anniversary with Open to Interpretation, an exhibition that invited viewers to participate in a game of discovery through the unique display of artworks from BAM’s Permanent Collection.

  • MAYOR's HOTLINES St. Luke's Master Plan
    MAYOR’S HOTLINES St. Luke’s master plan comments 4/7/15 – 4/12/15 4/7/15 Kathy Vawter 525 S. Pond St. Boise, ID 83705 345-8629 I just wanted to make a comment about St. Luke’s closing off the street. I would be against that; I think they need to leave that open. She’s against St. Luke’s closing that street off, she thinks it should remain open. Council/ PDS 4/7/15 Don May 4759 S. Chex Way Boise, ID 83709 890-0270 [email protected] I am calling because I am a landlord and I have two investment properties in downtown Boise. One of them is 3108 W. Stewart Ave. and the other one is 926 N. 32nd St. I believe that it is absolutely critical that Boise do whatever it can to keep the St. Luke’s Boise Medical Center in downtown Boise. It’s very important that residents in the City of Boise have access to premiere medical care. It certainly helps landlords such as myself maintain the value of the property when we purchased it. The residents who live there really deserve to have premiere care available to them. I hope that the Mayor and City Council can do everything that they can to accommodate St. Luke’s; it appears that St. Luke’s is bending over backwards to try to accommodate the City and its desire to have bicycle and pedestrian friendly which I am a supporter as well. We need to have access to go health care. The mission statement of the City of Boise is the most livable city, so it’s got to have premiere health care readily available.

  • Senate State Affairs Committee
    Senate State Affairs Committee Minutes 2005 MINUTES SENATE STATE AFFAIRS COMMITTEE DATE: Friday, January 14, 2005 TIME: 8:00 a.m. PLACE: Room 437 MEMBERS Chairman Burtenshaw, Vice Chairman McKenzie, Senators Darrington, PRESENT: Davis, Stegner, Little, Stennett, Malepeai MEMBERS Geddes ABSENT/ EXCUSED: GUESTS: Clive Strong, Office of the Attorney General CONVENE: Chairman Burtenshaw called the meeting to order at 8:08 a.m. NEZ PERCE Presentation from Mr. Clive Strong, with the Attorney General's Office. AGREEMENT: Mr. Clive Strong, Division Chief of the Natural Resources Division for the Attorney General's Office, provided the committee with an unabridged version of the Nez Perce Water Rights Agreement as well as a short two-sided handout of the main points of the Agreement, which is attached to these minutes. Mr. Strong stated that this Agreement has a lot of support but added that it does not have unanimous support. The Agreement came about as a result of the Snake River Basin Adjudication. In 1987, the state commenced the SRBA to quantify all water right claims in the state of Idaho and to provide a comprehensive inventory of all the water rights. He explained that Idaho follows the prior appropriations doctrine. He stated that the federal Indian reserved water rights are an exception to state water law. Indian reserved water rights originated from the United States Supreme court case of Winters v. United States. This case involved the Fort Peck Reservation in Montana. Because all of the water supply had been fully appropriated under state law, there was insufficient water remaining to irrigate tribal lands.
