Cancer Survivors Plaza

Sunday, 12 December 2010 22:21

Cancer survivors and their families will have a new gathering place in Boise thanks to a $1 million grant awarded to City of Boise by the R.A. Bloch Cancer Foundation. The grant will help pay for the construction of a cancer survivors plaza, shelter, restroom and parking lot in the east end of Julia Davis Park.

Boise Mayor David Bieter made the announcement Feb. 18, 2009, at a meeting of the "Julia Davis Park: Second Century Coalition," a group of park supporters.

The Bloch Cancer Foundation (http://www.blochcancer.org/) seeks to build a plaza in every state.

The new amenities are consistent with a master plan developed several years ago for the park. Construction is expected to begin in late 2009 or early 2010.
