BOULDER CITY, NV - Yesterday, as part of the America 250 celebrations, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen visited the Hoover Dam and toured various spots around Boulder City, highlighting local small businesses and the importance of tourism to the region. Senator Rosen met with various leaders and small business owners across the city to discuss her efforts to address economic instability and the decline in international tourism. The visit included stops at the iconic Hoover Dam, the Boulder City Airport, the Boulder City Chamber of Commerce, and a local brewery.

Senator Rosen started the day off by visiting the Boulder City Chamber of Commerce with President and CEO Jill Rowland-Lagan, where they discussed Senator Rosen's efforts to support tourism and small businesses in Boulder City. Senator Rosen has helped introduce legislation to increase tax deductions for new businesses, to allow nonprofit child care providers to access SBA loan programs, and to establish exemptions for small businesses from tariffs.

Senator Rosen, along with Mayor Joe Hardy, later toured the Boulder City Airport, the third-most used airport in Nevada. Senator Rosen has helped secure critical funding for the Boulder City Airport. In May, she helped secure $10 million in federal funding for the Boulder City Airport to support the construction and operation of a new air traffic control tower.

Senator Rosen then visited the Hoover Dam, which generates power to support 1.3 million people and is a testament to American ingenuity. With recent drops in water levels, the Hoover Dam will face significant reductions in hydropower capacity - potentially impacting millions who rely on this power and may increase electricity prices. Senator Rosen helped secure $52 million for critical operations, maintenance, and improvement projects at the Hoover Dam through the Help Hoover Dam Act, which was included in the government funding bill signed into law this year.

Senator Rosen also went to dinner at Boulder Dam Brewing Co., where she met the owner and cheered on the US Men's National Team in their first knockout game of the World Cup.

"A symbol of American ingenuity, unity, and success, the Hoover Dam serves as both a reminder of everything the U.S. can accomplish, and it's an inspiration for American generations to come," said Senator Rosen. "I was so excited to celebrate America's 250th birthday at the Hoover Dam and in Boulder City. I will continue working across the aisle to secure federal funding for local industries, such as tourism and hospitality, and will continue to support small businesses across Nevada."

Senator Rosen has helped secure critical projects in Boulder City through federal funding. This includes $32 million in disaster funding for Lake Mead National Recreation Area to address the effects of drought and ensure that Lake Mead's boat ramps remain operational.
