Nestled in the Treasure Valley against the majestic foothills, Boise is part of a thriving metropolitan area of 450,000 people.  Boise is the largest metropolitan area in Idaho, and also the most remote metropolitan area in the United States, fostering a “unique sense of community.”

Situated where the high desert meets the western edge of the Rocky Mountains, Boise is the gateway to exceptional recreational opportunities including:  world famous white-water rafting, Nordic and Alpine skiing, snowboarding, hunting, fishing, backpacking and camping.  Hiking, biking and fishing are popular activities right in the metro area, accessed by miles of greenbelt along the Boise River.  The foothills provide trails for hikers and bikers of all abilities.

Quality of life, low cost of doing business, an educated and motivated workforce, and the presence of three great universities provide valley companies with a healthy environment in which to do business.  The economy is a healthy mix of business, education, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, government and the military and professional communities.
