Superior Arizona has recently received a total of $4.25 million appropriation from the federal government for two important projects for the future of this small rural desert community.
Mayor Mila Besich and Council Member Gilbert Aguilar recently returned from a visit to Washington DC with the fruits of hard work on the part of the Arizona Congressional delegation to secure funding for the Superior Multi-Gen and Enterprise Center and for the restoration of natural habitat(s) of Queen Creek. In the omnibus bill signed by President Biden on March 15, a total of $4.25 million was approved for these two projects.
$2.0 million will help fund the Superior Multi-Generational and Enterprise Center. Developing a multigenerational center was a key strategic goal Superior’s Town Council set in 2016 to ensure that the Town continues to invest in and expand the community’s economic development and quality of life assets. To achieve this overarching goal, the Town purchased the original Superior High School – a local historic treasure. By providing a space for education, health, creativity and culture to flourish, Superior is strengthening a resilient and socially connected community.
