More homes at Harris Ranch are climbing into the Boise Foothills where just five year prior the Table Rock Fire scorched the landscape.

A COVID-19 surge spurred by the delta variant continues to get worse in Idaho. At the same time, some restaurants are bracing for more financial trouble due to the pandemic while others received big sums of federal aid. Plus: what Census data show when it comes to the state's explosive growth in the last decade. We cover all these topics and more on this week's Idaho Matters Reporter Roundtable.

Our panel today:

Audrey Dutton, Idaho Capital Sun
Margaret Carmel, BoiseDev
Rachel Spacek, Idaho Statesman

As Senior Producer of our live daily talk show Idaho Matters, I’m able to indulge my love of storytelling and share all kinds of information (I was probably a Town Crier in a past life!). My career has allowed me to learn something new everyday and to share that knowledge with all my friends on the radio.
