Welcome

This site is developed and maintained by East End residents interested in Boise's Historic National Guard Armory; it's a way for all stakeholders to share facts and opinion regarding the Armory location, structure and future uses.


Like others, we've been curious about the Armory's historic uses, what it looks like inside, and how it might be transformed from a liability into an asset. We want to explore outcomes that might benefit the surrounding neighborhoods and Boise in general.


Check for updates or sign on to the RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed above to be alerted automatically to new entries, news or meetings. Visit links to the right to learn more.


Share your thoughts about the Armory itself, the roughly 5 acres surrounding it, and what your wish list would be for both. Potential uses may be constrained by zoning, financing and market considerations, although our sense so far is that the City of Boise and at least some developers are open to exploring creative ideas.


Enjoy.

No Signs of Conflict at Boise’s Historic Reserve Street Armory

 

And folks are already commenting on the piece:

It is so refreshing to hear about a project that is actually suceeding in many ways; the options are an array of progressive, sustainable, local-grown, but also profitable possibilities that come from cooperation and collaboration.  This is a great model for other cities to use for similar situations. —Julia Dowling, New Jersey
