Stimulus Funds

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) was signed into law by President Obama on February 17th, 2009. It is an unprecedented effort to jumpstart our economy, create or save millions of jobs, and put a down payment on addressing long-neglected challenges so our country can thrive in the 21st century. The Act is an extraordinary response to a crisis unlike any since the Great Depression, and 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.

Governor Charlie Crist’s office has posted the information on stimulus funds for Florida including the summer youth initiatives on a new webpage at www.flarecovery.com, the governor’s stimulus website. Click here for information on other workforce board's Summer Youth Employment Programs.
