| https://stanton.house.gov/2023/3/stanton-announces-5-55-million-federal-investment-in-tempe-globe-water-infrastructure-projects | Stanton Announces $5.55 Million Federal Investment in Tempe, Globe Water Infrastructure Projects | 2023-03-01 | 2023 | 2023-03 | Democrat | House | AZ | Greg Stanton | S001211 | stanton.house.gov | stanton | https://stanton.house.gov/press-releases | scraper | Funding comes through Stanton’s signature Arizona-focused $200 million environmental infrastructure authority Two Arizona communities—Tempe and Globe—will receive a total of $5.55 million for water infrastructure projects funded through Rep. Greg Stanton’s Arizona-focused $200 million environmental infrastructure authority. The investments will be administered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers under its Fiscal Year 2023 Work Plan. Since authorization of Stanton’s authority in 2020, more than $30.5 million in federal funds have been delivered to 20 water projects across Arizona. “We listened to the concerns of City leaders across Arizona and we got to work delivering federal resources so communities can get more out of every drop of water,” Stanton said. “I’m especially excited about the funds flowing to Tempe today, the first downpayment on a project that is going to improve our drought resilience at a critical time.” Tempe will receive $3.45 million to expand and improve its Kyrene Water Reclamation Facility and ground water recharge facilities—an important project for Tempe’s long-term drought resiliency. Stanton visited the facility in September 2022 with Assistant Secretary of the Army (Civil Works) Michael Connor, who will oversee the project through the Corps, and Tempe’s Mayor Corey Woods. The Kyrene Water Reclamation Facility was taken offline in 2010 due to the recession, reduction in wastewater into the city's system and significant operational costs. The project will allow the city to reactivate the plant to collect, treat, and utilize its reclaimed water while also adding resiliency to the system. Rep. Stanton secured a $37.5 million authorization for this project in the 2022 Water Resources Development Act to allow the city to access these federal funds through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The funds announced today are the first installment of Corps funds for this project. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T23:30:02Z |
