Economic Stimulus Funds Available to Stockton

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which is often referred to as the Economic Recovery Act, offers local government the opportunity to submit requests for stimulus funds from over 20 federal agencies. In some cases, a formula determines the amount of money for which the City of Stockton is eligible. Guidelines for each funding agency are very specific. An application and plans that meet the funding criteria must be submitted by deadlines established by each federal agency.

The City of Stockton has completed and submitted applications to several federal agencies. Applications are being prepared to meet established deadlines, and information is currently being gathered to submit for funding in those areas where the application date has not yet been determined by the federal agency.
