Summary
City staff described Boise Airport centennial programming: digitized archives, a printed timeline, a large mural on the consolidated rental-car facility (about 100,000 sq. ft.) with an April 6 unveiling, a postcard series, and a Concourse A groundbreaking planned for December 2026.
Staff presented plans for the Boise Airport centennial, saying the department is supporting archival digitization, a printed timeline to display airport history, and a broad public-art program tied to the milestone.
Presenter described a large mural planned for the Conrack (consolidated rental-car facility) that is roughly 100,000 square feet; the mural’s unveiling and dedication are set for April 6. The airport is also producing a postcard series by local artists, updating the city’s public-art archive, and installing smaller panels in a walkway that links the Conrack to the terminal.
Staff said the archive team is creating an online collection of photos, oral histories and written documents and that communications has prepared a press kit for the centennial. The department will also participate in a family day (June 2026) and said the airport plans to break ground on a new Concourse A in December 2026.
Local artist Chad Otis was identified by staff as the mural designer; a selection panel that included a commission representative approved the concept. Staff emphasized the mural is an interpretive exhibition tied to Boise’s history and aviation and said final designs may still change before fabrication and installation.
