The much-anticipated Mountain America Center in Idaho Falls held a groundbreaking ceremony on Tuesday, May 18, 2021. The center, a project more than ten years in the making, is being built in Snake River Landing at the corner of Pioneer Road and Event Center Drive.

Remarks at the May 18 groundbreaking were made by Idaho Governor Brad Little, Idaho Lieutenant Governor Janice McGeachin, representatives from Senator Jim Risch and Mike Crapo’s offices, Idaho Falls Mayor Rebecca Casper, IFAD Executive Director Rob Spears, IFAD Board Chair Terry Gazdik and Mountain America’s VP of Sponsorships and Events Jason Smith.

The 48,000 square foot venue features the Mountain America Center Arena with available seating up to 6,000 people and the Blue Cross of Idaho Conference Center which boasts a number of flexible seating configurations.
