| What Boise's Talking About |
| | | 🗳️ Boiseans Set to Vote on Another Levy | Boise has passed two previous open space levies, totaling $20 million in the last 25 years. So, why does the city want another $11 million, and how would the extra tax revenue be used? Host Lindsay Van Allen is joined by Conservation Voters for Idaho Executive Director Alexis Pickering to break down the levy on the ballot, what the money would go toward, and how voters are responding. [City Cast Boise] | | 🏗️ Local Developer on Downtown Meridian Project | Boise-based developer Ahlquist and Pacific Companies won the bid to pick up work on the Union 93 development in downtown Meridian, which went into foreclosure part of the way through construction. [BoiseDev] | | 🏢 New Affordable Apartments on Fairview | The city broke ground last week on the Dorado Station apartments on Fairview Avenue, an affordable housing complex with 212 units. Not everyone is happy, though. Nearby residents largely living in single-family homes said it would be an eyesore in the neighborhood. [Idaho News 6] | | ✍🏻 Federal Layoffs in Effect | Today, the federal government shutdown is entering its third week. Last Friday, the Trump administration began rolling out layoffs across the federal government, which President Trump said he intended to do while the government is shutdown. The scope of the layoffs is unclear so far. [Idaho Capital Sun] |

⭐ Even if you don’t think it’s for you (and if you know it’s not for you, that’s fine), my pick of the week for events is Rocky Horror at the Egyptian Theatre. I didn’t get it until I went for the first time last year, and…I get it now. |
