Information Related to the American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act of 2009
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) is a federal public law passed by the 111th United States Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama on February 17, 2009. A response to an economic crisis unlike any since the Great Depression, the Recovery Act makes supplemental appropriations for job preservation and creation, infrastructure investment, energy efficiency and science, health care preservation and improvement, expansion of education opportunities, assistance to the unemployed, and state and local fiscal stabilization, and for other purposes, for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2009.
Federal agencies will post ARRA grant information on their Web sites as it becomes available. For information on federal grant opportunities under the ARRA, see the Opportunities Page on Recovery.gov.
In order to help Appalachian communities find information on ARRA grant opportunities, ARC staff has identified links to agency postings that may be of interest to economic and community development leaders and organizations in Appalachia. These links are organized by program area.
For more information on the ARRA, visit www.Recovery.gov.
Most states now have ARRA Web pages on their sites, with information on what funding opportunities are available and how ARRA funds are being used in the state. For links to these pages, see the Recovery.gov.
