The Economic Development Administration is awarding a $1 million grant to Willcox Theater and Arts, Inc. for improvements to the downtown historic district of Willcox.
TUCSON, Ariz. — Tourism, the arts and Willcox's historic district are about to get a big funding boost from the federal government, as the Commerce Department's Economic Development Administration announced a $1 million grant via the American Rescue Plan.
The EDA investment will be matched with $397,528 in local funds and is expected to help create nearly 30 jobs and generate $90,920 in private investment, according to grantee estimates. “The Economic Development Administration is dedicated to working with communities to assist their locally-driven strategies to recover and rebuild from the pandemic,” said Castillo. “This project will improve and enhance the experience of visitors to Willcox while also supporting the preservation of the city’s historic downtown area.”
Senator Mark Kelly said “The renovation of these historic buildings will not only help conserve our state’s history, but will also increase tourism and support the local economy in Willcox.”
