The Consequences of Residential Infill Development on Exisitng Neighborhoods in the Treasure Valley
In 2004, the Urban Land Institute awarded a community action grant to
the newly formed Idaho District Council in partnership with Idaho Smart Growth. The purpose of the grant was to examine in-fill projects to determine if the feared consequences voiced by neighborhoods during the approval process could be substantiated. The study was conducted over
a three year period with assistance from Boise State University, the Ada
County Assessor's Office, the Ada County Highway District, the Cities of Meridian and Boise, builders and developers, and neighborhood association leaders. Twelve infill projects were analyzed.
