About the KURA

Art on Fourth Sculpture

In 2006, the City of Ketchum formed the Ketchum Urban Renewal Agency (KURA) to focus on downtown revitalization, community housing and public and private investments.  It is an independent organization with its own budget, by-laws and Board of Commissioners.  The agency’s activity and investment decisions are driven by an Urban Renewal Plan, which was adopted by the City Council in 2006 and amended in 2010.  Its initiatives are focused exclusively on areas within Ketchum that have been identified as those that would benefit most by public investment.
