Wyoming Recovery and Reinvestment Plan
Putting Federal Stimulus Dollars to Work
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), also known as the
national economic stimulus bill, will have a significant impact on Wyoming.
As the nation faces the most difficult economic circumstances in decades,
this bill is designed to get the economy going again and to generate much
needed jobs.
In Wyoming, the ARRA will affect numerous funding formulas, discretionary
grants and existing programs that already help distribute federal funds to
our residents. Among the many infrastructure projects that could benefit
from these funds are highway projects, water infrastructure projects and
efforts to improve energy efficiency.
Beginning in February 2009, I assembled a team of representatives from state
agencies that would be affected by the ARRA and asked them to begin analysis
of this very complex federal bill.
The information you find on this Web site is the result of this team’s
concerted effort to analyze the bill, to understand how much funding could
become available to Wyoming and to document the ways in which this funding
would be delivered to the state.
This site will be updated regularly so that you can follow how we are
putting this funding to work in Wyoming.
