After years of trying to secure funding for the project, Yuma has been awarded a $10.6 million grant for the development of a multimodal transportation center in the city’s historic downtown.
The city’s longtime plan has been to turn the vacant Hotel Del Sol, 200 E. 3rd St., into a transit hub that would serve several modes of transportation, help revitalize the “heart of the city” and support the community’s transportation needs.
Early Tuesday local officials learned that the city had finally nabbed a Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation, the only Arizona project selected.
