Outdated water and power infrastructure projects across the American West are now eligible to apply for infrastructure funding
WASHINGTON – Arizona senior Senator Kyrsten Sinema announced that the Bureau of Reclamation has opened the first application period for the Aging Infrastructure Account – a program Sinema created and funded through her bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs law tailored to repair and improve outdated water and power infrastructure projects across the West.
“Thanks to the Arizona input that shaped our bipartisan infrastructure law, we’re prioritizing repairs and improvements to outdated water and energy systems in Arizona and across the American West, strengthening our state’s economic opportunities and the health of our communities,” said Sinema, co-author and negotiator of the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
The Sinema-led bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs law provided $3.2 billion for the Sinema-created Aging Infrastructure Account, which was made to be used for maintenance needs of outdated water and energy projects in Arizona and across the West. The Bureau of Reclamation has started the first application period of projects to apply for Aging Infrastructure Account funding. The first application period will close January 31, 2022.
