Rosen and Cortez Masto Secured More Than $40 Million For 24 Nevada Projects In Second Bipartisan Government Funding Package For FY24<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

WASHINGTON DC\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 U.S. Senators Jacky Rosen (D-NV) and Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) announced that they have secured more than $40 million for 24 projects that will help prepare workers for in-demand industries across the state, create more small businesses in Nevada, and expand access to health care. Both senators submitted these project funding requests in the spring of 2023 and ensured they were included in the second Fiscal Year 2024 bipartisan government funding package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The funding includes nearly $16 million to invest in workforce development to address the state\u2019s needs in key sectors, such as mental health, nursing, and education. Project funding will also upgrade Nevada\u2019s online business portal so more small businesses get licensed, fund mental health training for first responders in Clark County, and support communities across the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMaking sure Nevada gets its fair share of federal funding for projects that will make a meaningful difference in the lives of hardworking families is a top priority,\u201d dijo el Senador Rosen.<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019m proud to have helped secure millions of dollars in the bipartisan government funding package to support Nevada\u2019s small businesses, improve access to health care, and invest in our workforce. I\u2019ll always work across the aisle to deliver for our state.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy supporting workforce development, strengthening our mental health infrastructure, and investing in education, this funding I secured will create good-paying jobs and help Nevadans stay safe and healthy,\u201d said Senator Cortez Masto<\/strong>. \u201cThese projects will benefit hardworking families, small businesses, and students across the state, and I\u2019ll keep working to ensure Nevadans have every opportunity to succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators Rosen and Cortez Masto reached out directly to local and Tribal governments, and Nevada\u2019s public colleges and universities to ensure they requested funding for projects that will make a difference for Nevadans. They will continue to work to quickly pass this bipartisan government funding package and get Nevada communities the federal dollars and support they deserve and need.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
