Ciscomani Preliminarily Secures Nearly $7 Million for Eloy Infrastructure Improvements

Eloy, AZ - U.S. Representative Juan Ciscomani today saw firsthand how the nearly $7 million federal investment he preliminarily secured for the City of Eloy will be used to improve the community’s increasingly busy streets.

"This project will be a gamechanger for Eloy and the hardworking folks who live and do business here," the congressman said after touring Frontier Street with Mayor Andy Sutton. "I was honored to advocate for this project with my colleagues on the House Appropriations Committee and after seeing it today, I’m more convinced than ever that it’s a worthwhile investment."

As a result of Ciscomani’s efforts, the city will receive $6.76 million for what is formally known as the Frontier Mill & Overlay Project Phases II & III. The allocation is included in the Fiscal Year 2027 Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development (THUD) Appropriations bill.

The funds Ciscomani preliminarily secured for Eloy represent "a critical investment in transportation infrastructure that will support the connectivity, safety, and economic vitality of the region," according to Irene Higgs, executive director of the Sun Corridor Metropolitan Planning Organization. The project "will provide Eloy with a refurbished gateway to accommodate traffic generated by new businesses and increased employment, reduce congestion, improve freight movement, and improve safety."

Mayor Sutton agreed and expressed his appreciation for the funds Ciscomani is bringing back to Arizona’s Sixth Congressional District.

"The City of Eloy is grateful to Congressman Juan Ciscomani for his leadership and continued advocacy on behalf of our community. Securing funding for vital roadway improvements is an important investment in public safety, mobility, and Eloy’s future growth," said Mayor Sutton. "Congressman Ciscomani understands the needs of communities like ours and has consistently made himself accessible to local leaders. His efforts have helped ensure that Eloy’s priorities are heard at the federal level, and we greatly appreciate his partnership and commitment to delivering meaningful results for our residents."

Included in the same THUD bill is $2.73 million for Burris Road Improvements in Casa Grande that the congressman also advocated for. Combined, these investments represent more than $9.4 million in federal funding for critical transportation infrastructure in Pinal County.

"As Arizona’s sole appropriator in either the House or Senate, I have made it my mission to be a relentless advocate for Southern Arizona by listening to the needs of our communities and fighting to bring those priorities to Washington," Ciscomani said. "Every Community Project Funding request I champion is driven by local leaders and the people they serve, ensuring taxpayer dollars are invested where they will have the greatest impact. These critical investments will modernize aging infrastructure, improve key roadways, and support Pinal County’s continued growth. I will always fight to ensure Southern Arizona has a strong voice at the table and receives its fair share of federal resources."

These two Pinal County infrastructure projects are among the 20 Community Project Funding requests totaling $42.7 million that the congressman has advocated for in this year’s House appropriations bills to strengthen infrastructure in Arizona's Sixth Congressional District.

The $6.76 million preliminarily secured for the City of Eloy’s Frontier Mill & Overlay Project Phases II & III will modernize existing roadway infrastructure and builds on the $1 million Congressman Ciscomani secured in Fiscal Year 2026 for Phase I of the project. This continued investment will support future economic development and ensure the city’s infrastructure keeps pace with its growth.

​Earlier this week, the congressman visited the new Oro Valley Police Department which will be using $4.2 million he secured for public safety equipment and technology.
