About Recovery

Welcome to Recovery.Arkansas.Gov.  You will find information here on President Obama’s recovery plan and how the stimulus recovery funds will be distributed in Arkansas.  Governor Beebe has established the Governor’s Recovery Cabinet made up of leaders from key state agencies that will oversee the recovery funds.


Overview

The State of Arkansas is currently projected to receive $2.9 billion in one-time additional federal revenues, as administered by the state, split over 27 months from The Act. The distribution of these funds will be undertaken with responsibility, transparency, and appropriate oversight.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) is intended to:

  • Preserve and create jobs to promote economic recovery
  • Provide investments in technological advances in science and health
  • Invest in transportation, environmental protection, and other long term infrastructure improvements
  • Stabilize state and local government budgets

This Web site, Recovery.Arkansas.Gov, has been established to provide transparency by listing every dollar of the stimulus package spent in Arkansas, similar to the Obama administration's Web site established at Recovery.gov.

Arkansans will be able to access information and have questions answered on the site concerning the investment of these taxpayer funds. This is your money - and your leaders should be held accountable for how it is managed.
