Mission & Vision
CCDC is Boise’s redevelopment agency and prepares master plans and
manages redevelopment activities within designated urban renewal districts.
Currently CCDC is implementing urban renewal master plans in three districts
in downtown Boise. Redevelopment activities include both public and private projects.
Public projects are used to leverage private development in the plan area.
Public projects have included:
- Parking garage construction and operation
- Transportation and street improvements
- Brick sidewalks and public plaza construction
- Street tree planting
- Construction of public buildings
- Partnerships with private developers
- Funding public art
CCDC also undertakes redevelopment activities through agency initiatives. For example,
the Boise Smart City Initiative, a citizen-led effort in 2000, envisioned downtown Boise
becoming a vibrant urban environment – a lively mixture of housing, workplaces, restaurants,
retail, culture, educational activities and social spaces
connected by technology and fueled by the energy of the new economy workforce. The Pioneer Corridor is another example of a redevelopment project.
