It looks like Pima will get its new fire station.
Rep. Juan Ciscomani previously earmarked $2 million in funding for Pima’s new fire station and that funding has now passed through committee. With the town of Pima’s entire annual budget less than $3 million, having a grant for $2 million in funding is extremely beneficial. Recently, the U.S. House of Representatives Appropriations Committee passed a package that includes $26 million in projects for Southern Arizona. Out of those 13 projects pressed by Ciscomani and approved by the Committee, three are going to Graham and Greenlee counties with the $2 million for Pima’s fire station; $1.3 million for the Graham County Gila River Linear Park and Trail Project, and $274,00 for the town of Duncan and Hunter Estates Drainage Mitigation and Design in Duncan.
