In 2024, BDC's dedication to our mission was exemplified through over 2,273 hours invested across 40+ transformative projects. As CEO, I personally committed an average of 66 hours monthly to travel for recruitment and attraction efforts, maintaining unwavering support for critical infrastructure like the Pocatello Regional Airport while managing regular office duties and hours remotely to ensure continuous operations. We maintain a very precise and useful file management system that allows us to keep confidential and accurate project details and progress. Our investments in regional growth have been strategic and substantial. The $100,000 Regional Marketing Rebrand and Attraction Project represents our commitment to elevating the Portneuf Valley and SE Idaho's profile. This initiative has delivered a unified regional brand and comprehensive marketing strategy, positioning our area for increased revenue, business attraction, and tourism growth. The collaborative approach ensures that all stakeholders, from cities to counties, can leverage these resources for maximum impact. The impact of our Business Retention and Expansion (BRE) efforts has been particularly noteworthy. In 2024, we supported 10 BRE projects affecting over 500 jobs, while maintaining strict confidentiality to protect our business partners' interests. This work continues to be fundamental to our region's economic stability and growth. Looking forward, our recruitment initiatives are targeting high-value employment opportunities, focusing on professional service businesses offering salaries ranging from $79,000 to $120,000+. We are actively pursuing engineers, accountants, architects, healthcare professionals, and technology specialists while strengthening partnerships with educational institutions to develop essential workforce pathways. The economic horizon for 2025 is exceptionally promising, with projected capital investments exceeding $300 million across Chubbuck, Pocatello, and Bannock County. These investments encompass construction, equipment, and infrastructure projects, including exciting developments in amenities and recreation that will enhance our region's appeal. Your $15,000 investment in BDC continues to yield substantial returns through: - Professional economic development services at a fraction of the cost of internal staffing - Strategic collaboration with local, state, and federal partners - Neutralfacilitation of complex multi -stakeholder projects - Targeted marketing and attraction efforts - Comprehensive business retention and expansion support - Grant pursuit and investment facilitation We anticipate economic growth exceeding the county's previous 3% rate, driven by our strategic initiatives and the resulting ripple effects throughout the local economy. This growth is crucial for sustaining and improving our region's quality of life, environmental sustainability, and social development. I maintain an open-door policy and welcome the opportunity to discuss our work in greater detail, building upon the 38 one-on-one stakeholder meetings conducted annually. Our modest operational budget focuses primarily on opportunity creation, recruitment, attraction, retention, and marketing initiatives that directly benefit our community. Thank you for your continued support and partnership in building a thriving future for the Portneuf Valley. Your investment enables us to pursue these vital strategic goals with the professional expertise and dedication they deserve.

For every $1 of support funds, we were able to bring in $26 of grants Tyhee, ID dollars into Bannock County. JUSTIN CASPERSON Lava Hot Springs, ID BRAD Kent Arimo, ID Associates HANNAH SANGER Pocatello, ID KIT TILLOTSON, Lava Hot Springs, ID Our 2024 fiscal year, which ended June 30, accomplishments include the completion of the Ag BMP-Hawkin's Pipeline Project Phase 1 and WQPA-Cohn Creek Restoration Project. We closed off our fiscal year strong with one last application to the Idaho Department of Water Resources, Flood Management Grant, which was awarded in July 2024. Ag BMP -Mud Springs & Dead Horse Project has been delayed a few months to accommodate additional conservation work in the Big Onion area. It is set to complete Summer 2025. The Hawkins Pipeline Project Phase 1 successfully installed 2 water control structures and converted 4.3 miles of open ditch to pipeline. This project included an incredible partnership effort between the Portneuf SWCD, NRCS and Marsh Irrigating Company. The project was funded by NRCS-EQIP, DEQ -Ag BMP grant and matched in cash and in -in by the Marsh Center Irrigating Company. NRCS engineered the project and carried out by the Marsh Center Irrigating Company. This is the biggest project to occur in the Hawkins Creek area in decades. Portneuf SWCD wrote and administered the DEQ -Ag BMP grant for $225,000 of grant funding for this $1,400,000 project. Hawkin's Pipeline Project Portneuf Soil and Water Conservation District is an Equal Opportunity Employer The Cohn Creels Restoration Project restored the natural banks and habitat of Cohn Creek, a tributary that drains into Marsh Creek. This creek was straightened decades ago and this project put it back to its natural state. This project was completed early 2024 and landowner reported a significant booth to the health to the area ecosystem including the natural addition of fish in the newly constructed creels. This project was a partnership effort with Portneuf SWCD, NRCS, Wild Rivers Restoration and Arimo Corporation. It was funded by NRCS-EQIP, WQPA and A portion of the newly constructed Cohn Creek as It connects with Marsh Creek - Arimo Corporation. Engineering was completed by Wild Rivers Restoration. Portneuf SWCD wrote and administered the WQPA grant for $87,638 of grant funding for this $286,151 project. The Mud Springs and Dead Horse Project will continue improvements in the Big Onion area and the Yellow Dog Creek Project (Completed last year). Improvements include 5 connected watering systems and brush removal. We brought in $150,000 of grant funding for this $250,000 project. This project is delayed accommodating additional conservation work. BLM is currently constructing similar improvements on their land directly adjacent to this one. Once completed, this project will, implement planned improvement that will hook into BLM's system, therefore complimenting both sets of work. The Dempsey Creek Project will install a bridge crossing in an area that lost a culvert in a flooding incident in 2023. The project is located south of the City of Lava Hot Springs. In addition to the bridge the stream bank will be stabilized. This project is funded by NRCS-EQIP and IDWR- Flood Management Grant. This project will be completed in summer 2025.

The Pocatello Creek Restoration Project in development with a pending grant application to the DEQ -319 Non -point Water Source Program. This project is intended to implement improvements to Pocatello Creek. The creek flows into Pocatello City limits, is a tributary to the Portneuf River and a contributor of sediment pollution. This creek is a part of the Portneuf River Vision identified as needing improvement to limit soil erosion. Portneuf SWCD reached out to over 100 landowners along the creek to scope out public interest in conservation work along the creek Pocatello Creek adjacent to the Fire Station with moderately positive results. To date we have 4 interested landowners. Our pending grant is for a Pocatello resident near the fire station that is experiencing significant erosion that has encroached into the landowner's backyard. Due to the large number of landowners and complexities of the creek this may be the most complicated project attempted by Portneuf SWCD to date. Conservation education is important to us! We continued to sponsor the Idaho state FFA soil competition, and Idaho Ag in the Classroom, Pocatello High School's 2 Envirothon Teams, Idaho Envirothon, the Idaho State Forestry Competition, and the Portneuf Environmental Fair. This year we participated in the Portneuf Environmental Fair Committee at our booth and provided several educational activities. Our bee hotel creation activity was a big hit! We believe that no effort is too big or too small to make a lasting impact on our future, which is why we participate and will continue to participate in a variety of projects and programs. We are always looking for more opportunities to increase conservation and to provide conservation education to residents, landowners and organizations in both rural and urban areas. Your support of Portneuf Soil and Water Conservation District will enable us to continue bringing conservation projects and programs to Bannock County.
