Update from Neighborhood Meeting re: CWI Campus

On March 3 at the Riverside Hotel, the Kimley-Horn design firm managing the CWI building gave interested neighbors a walk-through of the project. This site is located at 3150 W Main Street, the corner of Main Street and Whitewater Park Blvd.

The major change to this proposed building is the height; the CWI building will be four stories not eight as originally proposed. Per the Kimley-Horn, the City of Boise wants eight stories.

If you support four stories, please contact City Council and let them know your preference. Use the contact form here, call 208.608.7002, or contact our district councilmen Jimmy Hallyburton or Meredith Stead.

For more information about this project, contact Nicolette Womack via email: nicolette.womack@kimley-horn.com.

Whitewater Police Station Opens

On Wednesday, March 5, at 10AM, there was a grand opening ceremony for the new station located at 3159 W. State Street, at the intersection of Whitewater Boulevard. The Whitewater Station will initially house officers assigned to the department’s traffic and special event units, including motorcycle officers and DUI patrols. This new facility is part of a larger Facilities Strategic Plan supported by the Boise City Council.  As part of the plan, the City will continue to gather community feedback and assess which resources will be based at the Whitewater Station depending on community needs.
