Idaho has emerged as a beacon for those seeking a harmonious blend of urban vibrancy, natural splendor, and economic opportunity. Boise stands at the forefront of this transformation, experiencing remarkable growth in recent years. From 2020 to 2023, the Boise metropolitan area welcomed over 54,000 new residents, positioning it as the 8th?fastest-growing metro region in the United States (bvep.com). ?

Boise's allure lies in its unique combination of affordable living, safety, a strong sense of community, a growing job market, and access to the great outdoors.

You have to #VisitBoise where the only Anne Frank memorial exists in the ???? The concept for the memorial formed after a traveling Anne Frank memorial came to Boise and attracted thousands of Idahoans. After several years of planning, the memorial opened in 2002 as a gift to the city, resulting from scores of private donations. The small site is less than an acre and hosts a life-sized bronze statue of Anne Frank, an outdoor amphitheater, the Rose Beal Legacy Garden, and more. The centerpiece is a series of large sandstone walls with quotes from Eleanor Roosevelt, Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, and other influential figures. https://lnkd.in/gN-KxdFG
