| Gosar Statement Lauding Senate Passage of the La Paz County Solar Energy and Jobs Creation Act Washington, DC — Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-09), issued the following statement following Senate passage of H.R. 1043, the La Paz County Solar Energy and Job Creation Act,legislation introduced by Congressman Gosar requiring the Secretary of the Interior to convey 3,400 acres of Bureau of Land Management land to La Paz County to help maximize additional renewable energy generation and energy storage capabilities, enhance the County tax base and facilitate transformative economic development: “I applaud the Senate’s passage of my bipartisan legislation to unlock responsible solar development in La Paz County. H.R. 1043 conveys 3,400 acres of BLM land to strengthen the county’s tax base, create good-paying local jobs, and expand domestic renewable energy and storage capacity—advancing America’s energy independence.This bill builds on my long-standing work, including the 2019 La Paz County Land Conveyance Act,to establish the county as a regional energy hub. By removing unnecessary federal barriers while preserving environmental stewardship, H.R. 1043 will attract private investment, lower energy costs, and drive lasting economic growth. At a time when Americans are demanding affordable energy and economic growth, this legislation does both. I look forward to President Trump signing my legislation into law,” stated Congressman Paul Gosar.Background: H.R. 1043 passed in the House of Representatives on July 21, 2025, and passed in the Senate last evening. The 3,400 acres proposed for conveyance in this legislation includes those remaining parcels in the original proposal that were not enacted into law and adds other parcels that are also compatible for clean energy development needed to unlock additional employment opportunities for La Paz County residents. ### |
