THE OPPORTUNITY

The Capital City Development Corporation (CCDC) stands at a defining moment in Boise’s evolution. Over the past several decades, CCDC has played a transformative role in shaping Downtown Boise and surrounding urban districts through strategic redevelopment, placemaking, infrastructure investment, and public-private partnership. Today, as Boise continues to experience rapid growth and increasing national attention, the organization faces both significant opportunity and meaningful transition. The next Executive Director will have the rare opportunity to help define CCDC’s next chapter – guiding the agency through an evolving urban renewal landscape while helping shape the future of one of the most vibrant and livable capital cities in the West.

About Boise

Boise is one of the fastest growing and most dynamic capital cities in the Intermountain West, recognized for its exceptional quality of life, resilient economy, and strong culture of partnership. Home to an active downtown, distinct neighborhoods, and immediate access to the Boise Foothills and Boise River Greenbelt, Boise offers an unmatched balance of urban energy, natural beauty, and community connection. The city is known for entrepreneurship, innovation, and a growing business sector, while maintaining a welcoming character and strong sense of place that continues to attract residents, visitors, and investment.

Boise is also a community committed to thoughtful growth and shared prosperity. Through strategic public-private partnerships, infrastructure investment, placemaking, and neighborhood revitalization, the city continues to expand opportunity while preserving the qualities that make it unique. From housing and mobility to economic development and public spaces, Boise approaches growth with an emphasis on long-term value, livability, and creating places where people can live, work, gather, and thrive.

CAPITAL CITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION

The Capital City Development Corporation serves as Boise’s urban renewal and redevelopment agency, leading strategic investments that help shape the city’s economic vitality, urban character, and long-term growth. Established in 1965 by the City of Boise as the Boise Redevelopment Agency, CCDC today functions as a public redevelopment organization focused on catalyzing high-quality private development through infrastructure investment, economic development initiatives, urban design, and placemaking. The agency works in partnership with the City of Boise, private developers, business leaders, and community stakeholders to advance projects that strengthen Boise’s downtown and neighborhood districts while enhancing the city’s overall quality of life.

CCDC is governed by a nine-member Board of Commissioners appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the Boise City Council. The agency operates with a FY26 budget of approximately $50.1 million and employs a staff of 19 professionals organized across five divisions, each led by a Director. Together, the organization manages a broad portfolio of redevelopment, infrastructure, parking, mobility, and economic development initiatives that support one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the Mountain West.

THE POSITION

The Executive Director of CCDC serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the agency, reporting directly to the Board of Commissioners and leading the organization’s strategic, operational, financial, and community development activities. This position offers a unique opportunity to provide strong leadership to shape the future of Boise through urban redevelopment, economic development, infrastructure investment, and placemaking initiatives that support Boise.

The Executive Director provides leadership to a staff of 19 employees across five divisions, each led by a Director, and oversees an FY2026 operating budget of approximately $50.1 million. The Executive Director serves as the public face of the agency, building productive relationships with elected officials, developers, business leaders, neighborhood stakeholders, regional partners, and the broader community while ensuring alignment with the agency’s mission and long-term vision.

CCDC’s next Executive Director will be a collaborative and politically astute leader with strong strategic planning, organizational management, and stakeholder engagement skills. The successful candidate will demonstrate the ability to balance long-term redevelopment goals with practical execution, foster a culture of accountability and innovation, and guide complex public-private initiatives that enhance Boise’s economic vitality, mobility, infrastructure, and quality of life.

Salary & Benefits

The starting salary for the Executive Director is +/- $200,000, depending upon qualifications and experience.
