Impact on North Carolina
North Carolina is certain to receive billions of dollars from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, but we don´t know the final amount yet. North Carolina will receive approximately $6.1 billion in direct appropriations. However, that number doesn´t include tax cuts, federal agencies must still finalize their funding formulas, and a large portion of the funds will be in the form of competitive grants that have yet to be awarded.
$225 billion of the $789.5 billion total will be awarded to states based on funding formulas. We estimate that North Carolina will receive $6.1 billion of the $225 billion total or about 2.7%.
That $6.1 billion will be distributed like this:*
