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.

Community Visioning Process

What is the community visioning process?
Community visioning is essentially a long-term planning process whereby communities lay out a blueprint for changes they want to see within their communities. Ideally, the vision is then transformed into a manageable and feasible plan that the community implements.

Urban Research and Design Center (URDC)
The Urban Research and Design Center, under the direction of Boise architect and planner Sherry McKibben, has provided planning and design support for communities throughout Idaho. This group has many valuable skills to offer, including facilitating a community visioning process to determine local values and priorities, land-use and transportation studies, and analysis of planning and zoning policies and practices.

We are very fortunate to have the assistance of this team to evaluate issues surrounding the Armory site. Please participate in the community visioning process to ensure your views are heard, and your questions answered.
