Rep. Gosar Commends Progress of La Paz County Solar Development Project, Vows to Introduce Legislation

Statement

Today, U.S. Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-04) released the following statement in support of La Paz County's efforts to develop one of the largest solar power generation centers in the country:

"La Paz County ranks as one of the top solar regions in the entire world. Developing this abundant resource will not only make southwest Arizona a top renewable energy producer in the country, it will also result in widespread economic growth and job creation. The massive size of the federal estate in La Paz County presents real obstacles to the proposed solar generating project. This is an opportunity for common sense legislation that will allow for local officials to responsibly utilize this vital resource. I will continue to work with the County on legislation in the 115th Congress to ensure this project can maximize its positive impact for local jobs, revenue and renewable energy development."
