From Energize Our Neighborhoods

Thank you to everyone who helped share the Historic Preservation Plan survey with your neighbors and encouraged participation earlier this year. Thanks to the thoughtful feedback we received from residents across Boise, we've reached an exciting milestone in the planning process.

Today, the Boise City Council will receive an update on the draft Historic Preservation Plan. This draft reflects months of research, community input, stakeholder conversations, and collaboration to help guide how Boise identifies, protects, and celebrates the places that tell our community's story.

We'd like to invite you and your neighbors to join us at one of our upcoming Historic Preservation Plan Open Houses. These informal, drop-in events are an opportunity to explore the draft plan through a series of informational displays that highlight the planning process, key findings, and the draft goals and strategies. City staff will be available throughout the event to answer questions and discuss the plan.

As we shared previously, this effort extends beyond Boise's designated historic districts. The Historic Preservation Plan touches every part of our city—from neighborhoods and community landmarks to the places that contribute to Boise's unique character and identity. That's why input from neighborhood associations across Boise continues to be so valuable.

Rivergate Townhome Subdivision at 3099 W Moore Street. Public Hearing before City Council on Tuesday, May 5, at 6PM.

Your WENA board will speak during time allotted to the neighborhood association. WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! So that the board president can present a summary of comments/concerns of our members. THIS IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE for individual verbal or written testimony; it's in addition to it.

Neighborhood Associations are given more than 3 minutes to testify. WENA will use that time to the benefit of our members.

Reply to this post, send a pm, or send an email to [email protected]. You can always speak directly to a board member too.
