American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
Partial Breakdown by Regions

Women In Government (WIG) is taking steps to expand our policy issue base to include: energy, environment, transportation, and economic development in the states. WIG has created a state by state breakdown by each region of the recently passed American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 signed into law by President Obama on February 17, 2009 that relates to these new policy issues. Overall, this legislation intends to create and protect 3.5 million jobs and begin to put the nation’s economic recovery back on track.

Categories of Funding

Infrastructure and Science: In order to rebuild our economy, investments in physical and cyber infrastructure will put Americans immediately back to work rebuilding roads and bridges and will also enable the creation of a stronger and more efficient infrastructure system.

Energy: Provides for investments in areas critical to the development of clean, efficient, American energy, including modernizing energy transmission, research and development of renewable energy technologies, and modernizing and upgrading government buildings and vehicles.

Economic Development: With thousands of jobs being lost each month, several tax provisions have been added to this bill that will help state’s businesses and families, and create jobs.
