The arizona game and fish department seeks funding for one arizona water roosevelt lake

The U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service awarded $291,768 to the Arizona Department of Game and Fish under the Sportfishing and Boating Safety Act (CFDA 15.622) on July 1, 2025, for marina infrastructure improvements at Roosevelt Lake in Roosevelt, Arizona. The project will renovate a portion of the marina's fuel system through replacement of the above-ground fuel tank, installation of 1,300 linear feet of new fuel line, and widening of the dock to establish a utility corridor. These improvements are designed to ensure continued operation of essential recreational boating facilities at Roosevelt Lake.

The Boating Infrastructure Grant program funds the construction, renovation, and maintenance of docking, mooring, and related facilities for transient recreational vessels 26 feet or longer. The Roosevelt Lake project aligns with this program objective by enhancing marina infrastructure and supporting continued high-volume recreational boating use. The three-year performance period extends through June 30, 2028, allowing sufficient time for completion of the fuel system renovation and dock modifications that will maintain safe and functional boating access at the facility.
