SW Ada County and Boise Development Stories

---

The South Cole community is very concerned with the explosive growth in SW Boise.

Urban planning is lacking in SW Boise. Our community lacks proper infrastructure, expansion of existing roads, and commercial planning. That leaves us with gridlock traffic during commute times. We have no public transportation and minimal commercial development - restaurants, grocery stores, office space. So, we must drive into the city to work and play. 

600-acre mixed use development.

Includes up to 2,000 homes.

Located at the corner of Cole Rd and Lake Hazel Rd.

*Note: Murio Farms is NOT Murgoitio Park!*

This is Murio Farms, a 381-acre development south of Lake Hazel Road.

3,541 residential units are planned with a population of up to 10,000 new residents.

Yes, City Council approved to annex this into the City Of Boise even though the city estimates $22 million in loss over the 30-year project span. South Cole can anticipate more traffic congestion. City of Boise residents can expect higher taxes.

The figure above shows the new additions to the City of Boise. These developments will be within the City Limits! Locale on the right, Murio on the left.

This 15-acre parcel was annexed into the city of Boise and then sold to a developer for $12 million from Boise School District. It is located along Victory Road, next to the BSD building. The City approved 301- multifamily residential units.
