Comprehensive Recovery Act Overview

For those of you looking for more detail on all the funds in the Recovery Act, I can recommend a document produced by the Patton-Boggs consulting firm. It is available on their website www.pattonboggs.com. This overview is at the Federal level and does not provide any Tennessee specific information, but it does go department by department through the act and explains all the different programs funded, tells the level of funds available, the purpose for which the funds may be used, eligible applicants, deadlines, allocation method and any special criteria involved.

CTAS continues to provide regular updates on the recovery portion of their website as more information about specific programs in Tennessee becomes clearer. From my discussion with administration officials, there is hope that many of the details of how the Recovery Act funds may be distributed and spent should be available over the next few days. Continue to check the state site and the CTAS site for more information.
