The federal government has announced $16.2 billion in funds toward Arizona infrastructure projects. The highest share of these funds are going toward "other" projects, at 30.1%. Arizona was one of only two states where transportation wasn't the leading investment category. This is largely due to standout investments in semiconductor manufacturing within the state. The U.S. has said it will provide up to $6.6 billion to TSMC Arizona Corp. to support the development of three advanced semiconductor manufacturing facilities. This is the third-largest project investment that has been announced and the largest to go into a single state.

Unsurprisingly, Maricopa County received the most federal funding in the state at $7.4 billion—though that only includes projects where White House data specified the county, leaving out billions of dollars across hundreds of projects.

Some of the largest non-transportation projects in Arizona were funded through the CHIPS for America Manufacturing Incentives; the Broadband Equity, Access, And Deployment Program; the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund - Solar for All Program; and others.

Transportation projects dominate overall infrastructure funding allocations, according to the data. Just over half of federal dollars announced so far are geared toward transportation projects across the country. Within the category, most funding has been doled out to build, repair, or modernize roads, bridges, and other major projects. The same is true in Arizona, where 70.6% of transportation funds are going toward these.

Some initiatives, like the National Highway Performance Program and National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program, provided specific allocations to states to invest in broad categories. Others were awarded through applications for more specific expansion or repair projects. A few of the large titled projects in Arizona include:
- $132 million in Capital Investment Grants funding for the Phoenix, South Central/Downtown Hub light rail
- $95 million in Nationally Significant Freight and Highway Projects (INFRA) funding for the Gila River Indian Community I-10 Project
- $61 million in Tribal Transportation Program funding for the Tribal Transportation Program - Arizona Navajo Nation

This is a snapshot of allocations as of July, but new projects are announced every couple of weeks. With so much funding going into the nation's infrastructure, residents are likely to encounter working crews and new features wherever they travel—whether driving, by plane, on public transit, or otherwise—for years to come. Lawmakers hope that these efforts will modernize the nation, enhance safety and resilience, all the while creating jobs and boosting American industries.
