The Boise City Council approved the purchase of a downtown property to house a Boise Police Department microdistrict substation.

The property is located at 2223 W. Fairview Avenue, in downtown’s West End, and includes an existing 4,300 square-foot building.

According to a release from the city of Boise, the site is ideally located in a growing and evolving neighborhood that provides access to the downtown core, the Greenbelt and parks along the Boise River, and the Boise State University campus.

The property is large enough to accommodate a larger building if needed in the future and the existing building can be immediately reconfigured to suit current needs, including as headquarters for BPD’s bicycle patrol.
