Ignite cda, Coeur d’Alene’s Urban Renewal Agency, today announced the appointment of Will Osborne as its new executive director.

Osborne, a Hayden resident, moved to North Idaho in 2014 from Bozeman, Mont., with his wife and daughter. A graduate of Montana State University in business and finance, he has spent most of his professional career in the construction industry. 

"He is enthusiastic about continuing the agency’s important work and igniting development in our community," a press release said.

Osborne replaces Tony Berns, who announced his retirement last month after nearly 25 years of leading the agency. 

"Berns leaves behind a legacy of impactful projects, strong community partnerships, and years of dedicated service," the release said.
