Mayor Mclean To Recommend Capital City Development Corporation Commissioners In Boise

From the City of Boise:

February 28, 2020

Since issuing a public call for applications for the City’s Capital City Development Corporation Commission, we received an incredible amount of interest from residents. I appreciate each community members’ interest in serving the city and the time residents took to apply. Narrowing down the list of qualified applicants was difficult. I am excited to share my recommendations for the three vacant seats to Boise City Council at the upcoming regularly scheduled meeting on March 3 at 6 p.m. in the Maryanne Jordan Council Chambers.

My recommendations include:

• Kate Nelson, director of economic opportunity at Jannus, with expertise in economic development and strong ties to Boise.
• Latonia Keith, interim dean of Concordia School of Law, with experience in affordable housing and finance.
• Lauren McLean, Boise Mayor.

These individuals have the necessary background and commitment to achieve my vision of affordable housing and economic opportunity for everyone.
