🌱 Goodbye Historic Church + Autism Help + Air Fryer Breakfasts

Hello, hello! I'm back in your inbox this morning with the most important things happening in Boise these days. Follow along for the latest.

The weekend has come to a close and here is your Monday edition of the Boise Daily. We open with a story of a historic church scheduled to come down to make way for an office building. Help is now here to those with autism and take a look at some Boise homes on the market. The sagebrush around the airport will soon disappear to make way for new industrial buildings and we help you out with some breakfast ideas coming from your air fryer.

First, today's weather:

Plenty of sunshine. High: 92 Low: 62.

Here are the top stories today in Boise:

1. A quick trip for Boise residents is a drive to the Sun Valley/Ketchum area. One stop for visitors soon to be no more will be a stop at Antique Alley. KIVI-TV republishes an article by BoiseDev reporter Autumn Robertson of a historic 1800s church to be replaced by office buildings and condominiums. The former Baptist church for the area, now home to Antique Alley, will soon be torn down in the name of progress. (Idaho News 6 Boise Twin Falls)
2. A 2020 study shows 1 in 54 children in the U.S. have some form of autism. KTVB-TV staff report a new autism treatment center recently opened in Meridian operated by 360 Behavioral Health. The new center is using customized goal-focused plans for each individual and are designed to increase functional language and communication, improve skills related to attention and focus, and decrease problem behaviors. Under Idaho law, insurance coverage is mandated to help cover costs for autism treatment. (KTVB.com)
3. Do you have a large family and needing 5 bedrooms? Perhaps downsizing and looking for townhouse of 720 square feet? Boise Patch has these two offerings and others in this week's new houses for sale. (Boise Patch)
4. The area around the Boise Airport will soon see more than 1.1 million square feet of new distribution, warehouse, and manufacturing companies. BoiseDev reporter Autumn Robertson writes the City of Boise entered into a lease with Boise-based Adler Industrial to develop land near the airport. The plan will add 31 new buildings on more than 80 acres of Airport-owned land. (boisedev)
