Governor Bill Richardson's Competitive Grant Advisory is offering a series of regional briefings on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to assist local communities with accessing federal funding. The briefings feature a summary of the allocation of federal recovery funding under the recovery act and information on how communities and organizations can access competitive grant funding. The meetings are sponsored by the seven New Mexico regional Councils of Government, the New Mexico Association of Counties and the New Mexico Municipal League.

The meetings will include briefings by representatives from key state and federal agencies responsible for implementing the recovery act. There will also be extensive question and answer segments to ensure participants are able to obtain information that can help their communities apply for the millions of dollars available through competitive grants. The questions and answers generated by each meeting will be posted here, along with presentations featured at the meetings.
