Governor Hobbs’ Budget: A Step Towards Inclusive Growth in Arizona
PHOENIX, AZ (January 13, 2023) — In a move signaling a strong push for economic and infrastructural development, Arizona Governor Hobbs has unveiled a budget plan that promises substantial investments across various sectors. Sandra Watson, President and CEO of the Arizona Commerce Authority, has expressed support for this initiative.
Governor Hobbs’ executive budget promises to build on Arizona’s rising momentum, with sizeable investments announced for K-12 education, universities and community colleges, workforce training, water security, and more. The governor also is making good on her commitment to prioritize rural communities, announcing a $50 million investment to expand broadband for rural Arizona. Investing in digital infrastructure for underserved communities is crucial to building an Arizona for everyone. I look forward to working with the governor and our legislative partners this session to strengthen Arizona’s economy and further grow opportunities for everyone in our state.
Governor Hobbs’ budget aims to boost educational facilities and training programs, thereby enhancing workforce readiness. A notable feature of the budget is the $50 million allocation for broadband expansion in rural areas, emphasizing the governor’s focus on digital inclusivity.
