Cortez Masto Secured $2.5 Million for Senior Center in Bipartisan Government Funding Package for FY23
Reno, Nev. – Last week, U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) joined Storey County Commissioner Donald Gilman and Storey County Director of Health and Community Services Stacy York to highlight the new Lockwood Senior Center – set to open in late 2025. In 2022, Cortez Masto secured $2,500,000 in bipartisan government funding legislation for this project.
“Here in rural Nevada, you don’t always have access to community services like this in your backyard, but I’m thrilled that will soon change,” said Senator Cortez Masto. “I’m proud to have secured $2.5 million to bring this senior center to life, and I’m sure it will be a future cornerstone of our Lockwood community.”
The Lockwood Senior Center will provide resources and services to seniors in Lockwood, including meals on wheels, transportation services, a food pantry, case management, and mental health services. The senior center also plans to serve the greater Lockwood community by providing county services, school meals, and a health office.
Senators Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.) secured $167.62 million in Community Project Funding to support 85 programs and projects across Nevada as part of the FY2023 bipartisan funding package. A full list of projects in Nevada that received community project funding can be found here.
