Road Grant Awarded
The City of Firth was successful in a second application to LHTAC (Local Highway Technical Assistance Council) and awarded a grant to replace the road on Roosevelt St. and add a sidewalk & gutter. It is anticipated that the road will be very similar to the work done recently on Lincoln Street. We do not yet know when construction will start but are very excited to improve another road in town.
New Signs
We want to thank Roger Dye for his donation of the new Welcome to Firth signs!
Firth Riverbottom Improvement Opportunity - January 2026 update from Mayor Brandon Jolley
The City is currently exploring potential improvements to the Firth Riverbottom Park. Recently, City staff and our consulting team met with representatives from the Idaho State Department of Parks and Recreation to discuss possible enhancement options.
The City is considering a range of improvements on the city owned property, including adding additional campsites, leveling and upgrading existing sites to better accommodate RVs, making improvements to the pavilion, establishing a camp host site, and adding a limited water supply. We are also evaluating the feasibility of a fee-based RV waste dump facility and expanding the walking path.
These options are still under review, and the City is in the early stages of evaluating which improvements may be feasible and most beneficial for the park. Community input is welcome, and residents with ideas or suggestions are encouraged to contact Mayor Jolley. Our funding application will also be available for review by January 30th at City Hall.
Funding for potential improvements may be supported through grant opportunities offered by the Idaho State Department of Parks and Recreation. These grants are very generous and could make it possible to complete improvements with minimal cost to City residents. Current information indicates that the City's match would be between 5-20% of the project costs.
