Boise Airport staffing for rental car facility opening
Nine new airport positions — custodians, maintenance and floor techs, and an accounting analyst — are being added ahead of the new rental car facility opening this fall. Funded from the airport fund (airplane taxes, not property taxes), with ongoing cost of about $721,000 a year starting in FY 2027.
Street Reopening Celebration
Downtown Boise’s 8th Street block is open again, and the city is throwing a First Thursday party to mark the occasion. If you’re downtown this week, expect more foot traffic and a livelier street scene.
