Federal Stimulus $$: Now Flowing to a Town near You
The federal stimulus money is starting to flow to local communities across the country. Pasco County is counting on about $35 million, and some of it should have been in county coffers yesterday. Pasco officials plan on using the bulk of that money for a road-widening project in the busy central Pasco development corridor.
Other federal stimulus money will go for:
* Replacing buses on the county public transit system and installing security cameras
* Offering rental assistance for people at-risk of becoming homeless
* Rehabbing and reselling foreclosed homes
Money is going from Washington all over the country. To see where it’s going, check out: http://tinyurl.com/nk5g3b
