Boise Airport Tower Groundbreaking

Boise, ID
January 4, 2008

I was pleased to be able to attend a recent groundbreaking ceremony at the Boise Airport. The groundbreaking of the new airport tower marks a major step in our collective efforts to improve safety, efficiency and growth capacity of the rapidly growing Boise Airport. This new tower will be instrumental in accommodating future growth, improving Boise's potential to become a major regional or national air freight center and spurring additional economic growth in the region.
