(Flagstaff Business News) Why Strong State and Federal Partnerships Matter
Wendy Rogers’ SB1064 allocates $3 million toward improvement of West Route 66 and helps the city leverage additional federal funds.

The City of Flagstaff has committed $10.8 million through Proposition 419 and private developers have contributed over $2 million.
