Arizona Senators Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly announced major federal investments they secured across Arizona. These investments, funded through the Fiscal Year 2022 federal appropriations legislation, will better equip law enforcement, upgrade water infrastructure, expand access to health care, and more.

"Working across the aisle, we secured investments in Arizona helping empower local communities to strengthen their water infrastructure, law enforcement, health care services, and more -- today's announcement is a win for our state and for hardworking families trying to make ends meet," said Sinema.

"From providing new equipment for law enforcement and better job training facilities for students to building a new health care center to serve north Maryvale, these projects are going to have a direct impact on Arizona communities across the state," said Senator Kelly. "After months of work with Arizona mayors and other local leaders, we are going to make key investments that create great-paying jobs, get Arizonans the skills they need, and make sure our state remains the best state to live, work and raise a family."

"Thank you Senator Sinema for securing funding for the Willard Apartments Improvements. Like other cities in the country, Tucson is feeling the impacts of housing affordability. This federal investment will ensure the completion of several housing units to bring relief to working families," said Tucson Mayor Regina Romero.

"The City of Glendale is grateful for the federal funding provided in the FY2022 Omnibus. Investments in water management and public safety are incredibly important to me and my citizens. The funding brought forth by our two U.S. Senators and Congressional delegation will allow the City of Glendale to upgrade our 9-1-1 Call Center, replace an outdated public safety mobile command center, and create a pipeline to move water between Glendale, Phoenix and Peoria during emergencies," Mayor Jerry Weiers, City of Glendale.
