Overview of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) was signed into law by President Obama on February 17, 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 promote economic recovery and growth, 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.
How to Apply
As of September 30, 2009, EDA has awarded funds to expend the full amount of appropriations provided pursuant to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. EDA will consider additional applications only in the unlikely event a currently funded application encounters intractable administrative difficulties and the award is deobligated.

Implementing the Recovery ActThe Economic Development Administration (EDA) has been appropriated $150 million under the Recovery Act to provide grants to economically distressed areas across the nation. Priority consideration will be given to those areas that have experienced sudden and severe economic dislocation and job loss due to corporate restructuring. The funds will be disbursed through the agency's traditional grant making process and will support efforts to create higher-skill, higher-wage jobs by promoting innovation and entrepreneurship and connecting regional economies with the worldwide marketplace.
