Mapping the Stimulus

On the front page, we highlighted a new feature on Recovery.gov that allows the public to see how the Recovery Act is having an impact in their own neighborhoods.  It is a really useful tool to see what kind of benefits our communities are getting for $787 billion—in addition to the tax cuts, individual benefits, and state budget relief.  In my neighborhood, for example, there are three projects: a small business loan, a Section 8 housing grant to an apartment complex, and a grant going to an early childhood education program.

Try it out for yourself to see what is happening in your neighborhood.
