On Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $2.5 million Choice Neighborhoods Supplemental Grant to the City of Phoenix, to continue the revitalization of the Edison-Eastlake neighborhood. The grant presentation took place in the heart of the neighborhood, at Soluna, where City officials, community leaders, residents and HUD officials gathered to celebrate the important investment.
Since being awarded a $30 million Choice Neighborhoods Implementation Grant in 2018, the City of Phoenix has made significant strides in transforming Edison-Eastlake into a vibrant, mixed-income community. This additional $2.5 million will support further developments, including new housing, expanded public spaces, and enhanced community services.
“We’re proud of the progress we’ve made in the Edison-Eastlake neighborhood, and we’re grateful for our partnership with HUD,” said Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego. “This grant will allow us to continue our transformative momentum, create additional housing, and invest in public spaces that people of all backgrounds can enjoy.”
