Ciscomani Provisionally Secures Over $20 Million for Housing, Transportation, and Community Development Projects in AZ-06

WASHINGTON – U.S. Congressman Juan Ciscomani (AZ-06), a member of the House Appropriations Committee, preliminarily secured over $20 million for infrastructure improvements, housing projects, and other community development efforts in Arizona’s 6th District. The money was awarded this week in the House Appropriations Committee’s package for Transportation, Housing and Urban Development in FY2025. 

“As a member of the House Appropriations Committee, my top priority is to bring as many federal dollars as possible back to our communities while being fiscally responsible,” said Ciscomani, a member of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development. “I am proud to have leveraged my seat on this subcommittee to initially secure over $20 million for FY2025, money which will leave a long-lasting impact on all five of our counties in Arizona’s 6th Congressional District. From teacher housing to bridges and roads, including one in a community that has not had new road construction in 45 years, these are much-needed investments in infrastructure where the federal government can partner with local entities.”

Congressman Ciscomani worked to secure the following funds through Community Project Funding requests: 

• $1.8 million for Casa Grande Union High School District: This funding will be utilized by local high school career and technical education and construction students to build pre-fabricated housing units for teachers and faculty. 
• $7 million for the City of Sierra Vista for the Buffalo Soldier Trail Reconstruction Project: Building upon previous funds secured by Ciscomani, these dollars will allow Sierra Vista to move to Phase II of the project, which is aimed at repaving and replacing the road for the first time in 20 years. 
• $1.9 million for the Town of Duncan’s Main and High Streets Improvement Project: With these dollars, the town of Duncan will be able to repave over 4,000 feet on Main and High Streets, which have not been repaired in 45 years.
• $7 million for Town of Oro Valley: This money will be used for the maintenance and repair of bridges in Oro Valley, which currently display visible spalling, cracks, and other signs of deterioration.   
• $1 million for the Town of Pima for the Pima High School Road Construction Project: These funds will allow the town to begin construction on the access road to the area’s new high school.   
• $1 million for the City of Eloy’s Frontier Street Mill and Overlay Project: This funding will be used to replace asphalt and revitalize the historic Frontier Street, which serves as the main gateway to downtown Eloy.  
• $1 million for the Casa Grande Elementary School District for their Community Center Revitalization Project: This funding will be used to convert an existing school district building into a community center for after-school activities, educational support services, and student health and wellness resources in Casa Grande, expanding access to child care in the area.

In FY24, Congressman Ciscomani secured $26 million for 13 projects in all five counties in the district. He is the only member of the Arizona congressional delegation on the House Appropriations Committee.
