What types of projects can be funded from the Gila River State Shared Revenue Program?
The law states that the monies are to be for “government services that benefit the general public, including public safety, mitigation of the impacts of gaming, or promotion of commerce and economic development.” Recognizing that this statutory listing of government services is suggestive rather than inclusive, the Gila River Indian Community developed an expanded list of “priority areas” for which funding will be concentrated. These are: Public Safety, Transportation, Health Care Services, Economic Development, and Education. In addition to these priority areas, the Community reserves the right to utilize its discretion in funding special programs and projects not included in the above listing.
