Summary
Boise State's new ten-year master plan guides growth on about 200 acres of near-downtown campus, including student housing needs, transportation improvements, and Greenbelt completion. The plan commits to no campus boundary expansion and grew out of extensive Southeast Neighborhood Association engagement after friction over the 2015 plan.

Impact analysis
No direct city cost; the plan is fiscally constrained to what BSU can fund over ten years.
Students, surrounding neighborhoods, and downtown gain from infill growth, better pedestrian connections and Greenbelt completion.
Carpenters union speakers said construction workers could lose out if the university does not commit to fair labor standards and responsible contractors.
