WASHINGTON – Arizona Senators Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly announced a $5 million grant to the City of Page, Arizona for infrastructure improvements to support business growth and job creation in the region.
“We’re proud to announce this $5 million grant to make infrastructure improvements for the City of Page – supporting local businesses, creating jobs, and expanding opportunities for Arizonans so they may continue building better lives for their families,” said Sinema.
“As Arizona’s economy continues to grow, we need to make sure our rural communities aren’t left behind,” said Kelly. “These investments will help the City of Page build the infrastructure it needs to attract new businesses and good-paying jobs—ensuring long-term economic growth for the community.”
Allocated through the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA), this grant will support redevelopment of the Downtown Business District, to increase its commercial viability and promote tourism. This EDA investment will be matched with $5.9 million in local funds and is expected to create 36 jobs, retain 89 jobs, and generate $1.6 million in private investment, according to grantee estimates.
