A new plan may be emerging for the old Idaho National Guard Armory building in Boise’s East End.
The Idaho Statesman reports the building has either been vacant or used as a storage building for decades before Utah’s Alpha Development Group planned in 2022 to redevelop it into an apartment complex with retail and office space, but that did not happen.
On Monday, Boise’s KM Engineering submitted an application to turn the site into a new location for Garden City’s River House Ministries church.
According to the application, the building at 801 E. Reserve St., would host church operations and services.
Under the zoning that applies to the property, the church would need the city of Boise’s approval for a conditional use permit.
The application is an early assistance/concept review, meaning the developers must meet with the city’s planning team to see if the project would be possible, and to receive feedback on their vision.
