One of the largest deciding factors for our move here was that Boise frequently receives national recognition for its quality of life and business climate. It’s definitely a bonus to know that our city ranks so high on so many different polls! A few of the recent accolades are as follows:
- Best places for business and careers: # 3 (Forbes Magazine, 2007)
- Most secure places to live (500,000 or more residents): # 1 (Farmers Insurance 2006)
- Best places to live: # 8 (Money Magazine, 2006)
