Overview of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
(Recovery Act)


The Recovery Act signed into law by President Obama on February 17th, 2009 includes measures to modernize our nation's infrastructure, enhance energy independence, expand educational opportunities, preserve and improve affordable health care, provide tax relief, and protect those in greatest need.
 

Implementing
In an effort to create job opportunities for Connecticut residents and help the state’s communities and businesses prosper, Governor Rell has taken a number of steps to maximize the effectiveness of the ARRA in Connecticut, including:
Created the CT Recovery Working Group
Established a process to coordinate the activities of state agencies
Initiated efforts to share and receive information from municipal leaders on stimulus activities in their communities.
Formalized procedures and policies for promoting transparency and ensuring accountability
 

State Plans and Reports


In the days and weeks ahead, state agencies will be developing plans in response to funding opportunities associated with the ARRA.  The plans will be published both here on Connecticut’s Recovery website and in the ARRA section of the relevant agency’s website.

In addition, there are numerous reporting requirements associated with ARRA funding.  Agencies receiving ARRA funding are required to submit periodic and timely reports to the federal agency administering the funding.  These reports are to include information as to how the funding is being used and provide information on the number of jobs retained or created.  These reports will also be found on this website as well as on the agency websites.
