Now that Congress has passed and President Obama has signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, our hard work really begins. While the federal economic recovery package will pump billions of dollars into our state and local economies to support and create jobs, the federal stimulus package is not a cure-all for our economy or closing the state budget shortfall.

The recovery.wa.gov website is designed to help Washingtonians understand the recovery package and locate information that helps local governments find the right place to apply for funding. It also will serve as a “one-stop” location for accountability information so residents can see that the recovery money is being spent wisely.
