Eagle, Idaho – The city of Eagle will begin some major development projects this year after receiving nearly 700 acres north of the city in December.
The city acquired two separate parcels of land from two separate acquisitions. One of the parcels was 84 acres right off State Highway 16 and Equest Lane. The new land surrounds a plot that was already owned by the city. At that location, the city plans to build a 94-acre sports complex. The new development features five soccer fields, eight baseball fields, walking trails, parking and more.
The other parcel was donated to the city by GWC Capital, LLC. The land, which is located east of Ann Willow Creek Road, is 603 acres and is adjacent to property already owned by the state and the Bureau of Land Management.
The city is still finalizing plans for the larger area, but aims to preserve wildlife corridors, protect sensitive and endangered species, open space and use the land for a potential shooting sports park.
