The best information regarding the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is availble through on-line resources. The details regarding this legislation are developing so rapidly and changing so continuously that it is hard to have accurate information in any other format.
I have posted links on here before to different organizations and agencies that were monitoring the legislation as it was being developed. Now there are significant new Federal and State resources on-line specifically dedicated to administration of these funds.
The first place to start is http://www.recovery.gov/., the primary federal site for recovery information. Tennessee is in the process of developing its own site for state recovery information which can be found at www.tn.gov/recovery. In addition, there is another website designed specifically to help governments and organizations find and apply for grants related to the recovery act at http://www.grants.gov/. For information regarding education related recovery funds, you can get data at http://www.ed.gov/. Other Federal departments and agencies as also providing information related to aspects of the act that they oversee. Sorting through all this may end up leaving a local official overwhelmed. I'm working with the UT County Technical Assistance Service to develop a resource that will help sort out those elements of the Recovery Act that most directly affect Tennessee Counties and make that information more accessible.
Check here and the CTAS website frequently for more information on this topic.
