The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors has approved intergovernmental agreements and funding proposals to initiate renovation projects for three community spaces in Mesa. The announcement was made earlier today.

Vice Chairman Thomas Galvin, representing District 2, expressed his satisfaction with the decision: "I'm pleased to share that the Board has given the go-ahead on important improvement projects that will make visits to the City of Mesa's Firefighter Memorial Park, Historical Museum, and i.d.e.a. Museum even more memorable."

Galvin is allocating funds from Maricopa County Community Solutions Funding for these projects. Specifically, $100,000 will be directed towards renovations at the City of Mesa Firefighter Memorial Park. An additional $50,000 is earmarked for replacing six air conditioning units as part of an auditorium renovation at the Mesa Historical Museum. Furthermore, $200,000 will support various activities and updates to interactive art exhibitions at the Mesa i.d.e.a. Museum.

"I'm a strong advocate for investing in our local communities," Galvin stated. "It's critically important that Maricopa County residents have access to spaces that encourage them to be inquisitive, learn about their neighbors, and explore the wonders of the wider world."

In total, Vice Chairman Galvin has allocated $350,000 from Community Solutions Funding for these initiatives within his district. This funding is part of an annual budget provided to each supervisor to advance strategic goals and deliver public benefits across Maricopa County.
