Overview of the ARRA Recovery Act:

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) was signed into law by President Obama on February 17th, 2009. It is an unprecedented effort to jumpstart our economy, create or save millions of jobs, and put a down payment on addressing long-neglected challenges so our country can thrive in the 21st century. 

The Act is an extraordinary response to a crisis unlike any since the Great Depression, and includes measures to modernize our nation's infrastructure, enhance energy independence, expand educational opportunities, preserve and improve affordable health care, provide tax relief, and protect those in greatest need. An overview of the Recovery Act can be found at http://www.recovery.gov/ (opens in a new window).

Since the Act has come online, many agencies have already established their own Recovery Act web pages and submitted initial weekly reports. These reports contain information on funding, major actions taken so far, and those actions planned for the near-term. Use the links below and to the right to learn more about how the different agencies and departments are spending the funds allocated to them by the ARRA.*
