Visiting Kentucky leaders ask about race, diversity, and Boise’s lack thereof
The Kentuckians came to Boise to talk about change, about how the City of Trees became a national media darling, how its Downtown has been transformed, how technology companies have been drawn by the low cost of living and friendly business community.
