About Lift Local Idaho

Lift Local Idaho is a business-led coalition and statewide nonprofit. Our support spans all regions of the state and includes big and small businesses, chambers of commerce, advocacy and economic development groups, industry leaders, state and local elected officials, concerned citizens, and more.

Lift Local Idaho was founded in 2023 by Casey Lynch, Idaho local and CEO of Roundhouse, with widespread interest from business leaders, advocacy groups, and concerned citizens from rural and urban areas alike. The work of Lift Local Idaho is inspired by the efforts of dozens of individuals, spanning decades, to expand local control measures across Idaho.

Lift Local Idaho is a nonpartisan not-for-profit organization. Contributions are not tax deductible.

  • Fund local infrastructure projects

  • Enhance local services like water networks and fire departments

  • Diversify tax revenue structures

  • Decrease reliance on property taxes

  • Decrease reliance on state and federal aid
