BOISE, Idaho â The City of Boise is reviewing a proposal that would swap land in southwest Boise for land in the foothills and some southwest Boise residents are coming together to share their opinion on the proposal.
The Murgoitio land in southwest Boise, located between S. Cole Rd. and S. Maple Grove Road, is 160 acres and currently used for farming. Under the proposal, the City of Boise would give up ownership of this land for 250 acres in the foothills.
Although the city purchased the Murgoitio land in the 1990s, itâs not part of the City of Boise, itâs unincorporated Ada County land. Initially the city planned for the land to be annexed into the City of Boise along with the rest of southwest Boise. They would then develop the land into a regional park with sports fields and other green space.
