The Idaho Department of Fish and Game has begun work on a building to replace its headquarters at 600 S. Walnut St.
The old one-story building, located south of Kristin Armstrong Municipal Park, was recently demolished. It had served the agency since 1965. It will be replaced by a $19 million building shaped like an L, with three stories on the shorter leg and two stories on the longer one.
Financing was arranged through the Idaho Fish & Wildlife Foundation, which provides resources to the agency and other nonprofits to benefit wildlife. As a nonprofit, the foundation can issue tax-exempt bonds to pay for construction.
Fish and Game will lease the building for $1.2 million per year, and after the bonds are paid off in about 30 years, the agency would take ownership of the building.
The adjacent MK Nature Center will remain open during construction. The new building is expected to be finished next year.
