Idaho

Over the last five years, Idaho has added new residents at the fastest rate not only in the Twelfth District but in the entire U.S. Agriculture, construction, and manufacturing are some of the state’s strongest industries. Starting in the 1920s and continuing through the subsequent decades, representatives from important economic sectors like mining, forestry, and agriculture and representing communities like Cottonwood, Coeur d’Alene, Bonners Ferry, and Boise have served on the SF Fed’s Board of Directors.
