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.


Northeast Boise's Landmark

Advisory Committee

A volunteer citizens advisory committee formed in the fall of 2007 represents a subset of EENA’s Board. We come from a variety of backgrounds and interests, and are interested in what happens to the Armory site. We get the feeling we’ll be spending a lot of time on this in the coming months.The group consists of the following individuals:

Laura Shealy (Coordinator)
Beth Geagan
Charles Gill
Dave Krick
Deanna Smith
Diane Ronayne
Erik Kingston
Keith Hickerson
Sheila Trounson
Steve Trout

We would very much like to thank East Ender Cheryl Flinn at cflinn.com for web development and hosting. You wouldn’t be reading this if she hadn’t offered her expertise and time. She rocks. Cheryl’s neighbor Erik Kingston manages content for the site.

We would also like to thank Sherry McKibben and the graduate students from the Urban Research and Design Center for their work on a community visioning process beginning in mid November. They all clearly rock as well.
