administration: February 2009 Archives
(from Channel Weekly, Volume 11, Number 20, February 19, 2009 - posted with permission)
Earlier this week, President Obama signed the economic stimulus bill, officially known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 -- ARRA. The Act includes funding for broadband.
Implementing many of the programs funded by the new law, including the broadband provisions, will be a complex process. To help keep the library community informed, the American Library Association (ALA) Washington office has created a Website at http://www.ala.org/knowyourstimulus. The site includes resources on the stimulus package and other up-to-date information. In addition, the White House has also created a Website with information on the act. This site, at http://www.recovery.gov, will allow you to track various programs and to see how much funding is going to specific Congressional districts.
