Westchester Stimulus Town Hall

Seeking to remedy the effects of this economic downturn, the Federal government recently passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Our State was able to secure $24.1 billion of the stimulus money. How will this impact the average New Yorker? The funds will be spent in a variety of ways that seek to preserve healthcare and education funding, stabilize our economy through job creation and green energy initiatives, provide continued support for our most vulnerable citizens and improve infrastructure and transportation. This will mean the creation of new jobs and the infusion of money into public agencies. It will provide assistance to homeless shelters, more financial aid to college students and childcare for low-income workers. Some funds are specifically intended to clean our drinking water supply and make our public buildings more energy efficient. The potential benefit to our communities is enormous and it is essential that New Yorkers understand how this money will impact them.
