Thanks to the passage of the fiscal year 2022 Omnibus Appropriations Bill, Carson City now has $8 million in federal funding for infrastructure projects.
The city will use the money for Quill Water Treatment Plant upgrades, the Southeast Sewer Extension Project, Western Nevada Safe Routes to School, a new fire station and emergency operations center, and the William Street Complete Streets Project.
In a news release, Mayor Lori Bagwell said she is exciting to see the lasting impacts of the funding, and how it shapes Carson City’s infrastructure.
“(The projects) will have lasting positive impacts on the city’s residents by increasing our quality of life and keeping our utility rates stable for decades to come,” she said.
Advocates who helped pass the bill include U.S. Rep. Mark Amodei and U.S. Sens. Jacky Rosen and Catherine Cortez Masto. They ensured the city’s community project funding requests were included in the bill.
