The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) is an unprecedented effort by the United States Federal government 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. With much at stake, the Act provides for unprecedented levels of transparency and accountability so that you will be able to know how, when, and where your tax dollars are being spent.
In response to President Obama's call for public accountability and transparency, this website will be the City of Norfolk's main vehicle to provide each and every citizen with the ability to monitor the progress of the recovery.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act will be carried out with full transparency and accountability -- and Recovery.gov is the centerpiece of that effort. To learn more read here.
