How much American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) funding has Illinois received? How is it being spent?
As of Dec. 31, 2009, Illinois had disbursed ARRA funds totaling $5.9 billion. The state anticipates receiving an additional $7 billion in funding, pending legislation that is anticipated to increase this amount. Although ARRA concludes Dec. 31, 2010, much of the larger capital project spending will conclude by 2015. The best source of information on ARRA spending is located at Illinois’ Web site for ARRA reporting: http://www.recovery.illinois.gov/. The site is updated monthly, and includes spending data by county and project, detailed to the particular funding stream. Capital funds cannot be used to address General Revenue Fund shortfalls.
