Federal Economic Recovery Dollars
Thanks to the passage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the Federal government has set aside approximately $37 billion in competitive grant dollars to help states recover from the recession. Governor Kulongoski created The Oregon Way Advisory Group to enable the state to compete more effectively for this money. The Advisory Group will also ensure that the money creates immediate and long-term job opportunties for Oregonians.
The Advisory Group will advise and assist state agencies seeking federal competitive grants by developing proposals that include innovative elements toward sustainability, renewable energy, carbon reduction, energy efficiency and green development.
The group will also work to identify signature projects across the state that will showcase Oregon's green expertise to the nation, helping create long-term jobs as others look to Oregon to tap this knowledge base.
