Pima County Allocates $12 Million for Downtown Tucson Improvements

The Pima County Board of Supervisors passed a plan to allocate about $12 million in excess revenue for downtown improvements in Tucson. This funding includes opening three county-owned parking garages for public use on evenings and weekends, which will cost $677,000 over two years. The county also allocated $2.5 million for the One Pima Initiative, a plan focused on public safety and housing stability.

The investments are intended to address barriers to attracting customers downtown, according to business owners and property managers. The expanded parking and public safety efforts are part of a larger initiative aimed at improving the local economy and stability in Tucson.
