The Grove Plaza was designed and created by Capital City Development Corporation, Boise's redevelopment
agency.
This place making effort is considered among the best public gathering spaces in Idaho and has attracted
millions of visitors since 1989. CCDC's recent renovation of the plaza and public-private partnerships
with adjacent investors was honored as one of the top two such projects in the United States. The
International Economic Development council bestowed the prestigious Gold Award of Excellence in Economic
Development upon CCDC in 2018.
With the sunset of the Central District URD, agency leaders conveyed ownership and management of The Grove Plaza to the City of Boise.
