Rosen Secures $25 Million in Federal Funding for Sun Valley Boulevard Improvements in Northern Nevada

WASHINGTON, DC - Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) announced that she secured $25 million in federal funding for the Sun Valley Boulevard Corridor Improvements Project in Northern Nevada. This federal funding was awarded through the Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD) Grant Program, which Senator Rosen helped create through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law that she helped write and pass. Earlier this year, she joined Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) and Congressman Mark Amodei (R-NV-02) in a letter urging the Trump Administration to award these funds to the Regional Transportation Commission of Washoe County. The funding will go toward drainage improvements, additional bus stops, accessibility improvements, improved signage, and more.

"Sun Valley Boulevard is the main connection for residents traveling to schools, parks, local services, and regional employment centers throughout Washoe County and the Reno-Tahoe area. The work being done by this project will help bring significant safety improvements for both pedestrians and drivers who rely on this critical corridor for commercial, educational, and transit purposes," said Senator Rosen. "I'm proud to have helped secure millions of dollars in federal funding for this project in Washoe County. I will continue supporting infrastructure projects across Nevada, and ensure that they have the federal funding they need."

Senator Rosen has helped secure millions in funding for critical projects across Nevada. Recently, she successfully pushed the Trump administration to release $21 million in federal funding to combat homelessness in Nevada. Senator Rosen has also secured millions for Nevada's airports, including over $10 million for Boulder City airport and $20 million for renovations at Reno-Tahoe International Airport.
