The federal government will invest $300,000 in the city of Glendale to perform a detailed energy analysis and replace two chillers at the city’s water treatment facility from the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, led by Senator Kyrsten Sinema and shaped by Senator Mark Kelly.

“We’re proud to deliver these funds to lower energy costs and increase efficiency at Glendale’s water treatment facility,” Sinema stated in a press release.

Glendale will receive $300,000 through the Industrial Training and Assessment Centers Implementation Grant Program—a program supported by Kelly and Sinema’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law—to help small and medium-sized manufacturers make improvements at their facilities to reduce carbon pollution, lower costs, and strengthen the domestic manufacturing sector. 

“These kinds of investments are exactly what we need to modernize our energy infrastructure and secure Arizona’s water future,” Kelly stated in a press release. “These federal resources will help local facilities optimize their energy usage and bring down costs for Arizonans.”

Kelly and Sinema took part in negotiations with Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and senators from both parties.

For more than four decades, the ITAC program supported small and medium-sized manufacturers who are looking to make investments in energy efficiency and modern manufacturing processes. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law provided $80 million to support the ongoing goals of ITAC.

The law was supported by groups including The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Business Roundtable, The National Association of Manufacturers, The AFL-CIO, The National Retail Federation, The Bipartisan Policy Center, North America’s Building Trades Unions, the Outdoor Industry Association, The American Hotel and Lodging Association, The National Education Association, as well as hundreds of mayors.
