Alpine Village Wins Idaho Smart Growth Award

We are very excited to be recognized as a 2009 Grow Smart Award winner in the mixed-use category. To those of you who have already visited Alpine Village, it's easy to understand why our community has received this distinction.

According to Idaho Smart Growth, the award winning projects for 2009 were chosen based on a number of factors, including having a wide range of housing opportunities, providing a variety of transportation options, strengthening existing communities and preserving open space and parks. Alpine Village, specifically, was chosen partly because it "illustrates how resort communities can bring housing onto 'Main Street,' providing a walkable higher density housing choice while adding to the vibrancy of the community." In addition, the Village "is pedestrian oriented, physically attractive, safe and easy to navigate, and retains a mix of goods and services which serve the resident and tourist populations."

If you haven't stopped by to see us recently, I encourage you to do so this winter!

Alpine Village Hosts McCall's First Annual Oktoberfest

Alpine Village hosted McCall's First Annual Oktoberfest last weekend. Attendance was fantastic, with estimates of over 600 people there throughout the day! The weather was nice until some rain in the afternoon - it didn't dampen the mood, however, and most stayed to continue sampling the beer and listen to the great live music. Thanks to the vendors and all who came out to enjoy this fall day with us!
