The bill now heads to President Trump\u2019s desk, where he is expected to sign it into law. The legislation was championed in the House by Arizona Representatives Paul Gosar, Andy Biggs, and David Schweikert.\n\nUnder a previous land transfer, La Paz County made remarkable progress in creating a large solar park adjacent to the Ten West Link transmission project through central Arizona. The La Paz County Solar Energy and Job Creation Act will allow La Paz County to continue this project, developing a planned 500 MW of solar capacity and up to 900 MWH of battery storage, which is enough to power about 75,000 homes. The project will create 700 construction jobs and 10 permanent positions.\n\n\u201cAs the sunniest state in the union, Arizona has massive potential to power homes and create jobs through solar development. La Paz County\u2019s solar development is a perfect example of what is possible when we invest in solar, and I am proud to help them continue that work with the passage of this legislation,\u201d said Senator Gallego.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:09:11Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.gallego.senate.gov/news/press-releases/win-gallego-kelly-bill-to-expand-economic-opportunity-in-la-paz-county-heads-to-presidents-desk/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0026621166616678, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
