This week, I’m joining dozens of Greenville’s top business, civic, arts, and education leaders on an Intercommunity Leadership Visit — a biennial multiday deep dive designed to spark ideas, build connections, and inspire the future of our city. Destination: Boise, ID.
Why Boise?
The “City of Trees” has become one of the nation’s fastest-rising mid-sized metros, consistently landing on lists of America’s best places to live and work — sound familiar? Like Greenville, Boise has built a thriving, walkable downtown, cultivated community pride, and is now navigating the challenges that come with success: housing affordability, childcare, and infrastructure.
Boise is also a hub for innovation, home to Micron’s $15 billion CHIPS Act expansion, a new $800 million Meta data center, and a strong entrepreneurial ecosystem. Over the next few days, I’ll be journaling from Boise, sharing the ideas, inspiration, and lessons that could help shape Greenville’s next chapter.
