Several hundred people were in attendance Oct. 20 at the City Center Plaza ribbon-cutting ceremony in downtown Boise. The Plaza includes a new headquarters for Clearwater Analytics, the Boise Centre East expansion, a new home for the Boise State University Computer Science Department and a Main Street Station for Valley Regional Transit. In the process, Grove Plaza was also rebuilt.
