Sinema, Kelly Announce Over $75 Million Investment Coming from Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to Tucson International, Mesa Gateway, & Laughlin/Bullhead International Airports

Bipartisan infrastructure law led by Sinema and shaped by Kelly provides $300,000 to lower energy costs and improve operations at the City of Glendale's water treatment facility.

WASHINGTON - $300,000 will be invested in the City of Glendale to perform a detailed energy analysis and replace two chillers at the city's water treatment facility from bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs led by Senator Kyrsten Sinema and shaped by Senator Mark Kelly.

The City of Glendale will receive $300,000 through the Industrial Training and Assessment Centers (ITAC) Implementation Grant Program - a program supported by Sinema and Kelly's bipartisan infrastructure to help small- and medium-sized manufacturers make improvements at their facilities to save energy, reduce carbon pollution, lower costs, and strengthen our domestic manufacturing sector. 

"We're proud to deliver these funds to lower energy costs and increase efficiency at Glendale's water treatment facility," said Sinema, co-author and lead negotiator of the bipartisan infrastructure law.

"These kinds of investments are exactly what we need to modernize our energy infrastructure and secure Arizona's water future," said Kelly. "These federal resources will help local facilities optimize their energy usage and bring down costs for Arizonans."

Sinema led bipartisan Senate negotiations with Republican Senator Rob Portman of Ohio that included Senator Kelly and senators from both parties.

For more than four decades, the ITAC program has supported small and medium-sized manufacturers who are looking to make investments in energy efficiency and modern manufacturing processes. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law provided $80 million to support the ongoing goals of the ITAC program.

The bipartisan infrastructure law was supported by groups including The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Business Roundtable, The National Association of Manufacturers, The AFL-CIO, The National Retail Federation, The Bipartisan Policy Center, North America's Building Trades Unions, the Outdoor Industry Association, The American Hotel and Lodging Association, The National Education Association, as well as hundreds of mayors across all 50 states.
