Emblems to Stamp Projects Funded by the Stimulus Package

I like this alot, it gives form to where the money is going. Can't wait until the first time I see it in my community.

President Obama announced today that his administration will begin stamping an emblem on projects funded by the economic stimulus package so that people can easily recognize the effects of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

All projects will be stamped with the ARRA logo (short for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) and lists the recovery.gov website on the emblem.

“We’re also making it easier for Americans to see what projects are being funded with their money as part of our recovery. So in the weeks to come, the signs denoting these projects are going to bear the new emblem of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act,” Obama said. “These emblems are symbols of our commitment to you, the American people -- a commitment to investing your tax dollars wisely, to put Americans to work doing the work that needs to be done. So when you see them on projects that your tax dollars made possible, let it be a reminder that our government -- your government -- is doing its part to put the economy back on the road of recovery.”

Missouri touts bridge project as first under federal stimulus

Money getting spreaded around begets mo' money. Let's go!!

TUSCUMBIA, Mo. -- Construction crews began replacing a rural bridge just minutes after President Barack Obama signed a $787 billion stimulus package on Tuesday. The bridge project likely is the first in the nation to get started under the stimulus plan.

Missouri transportation officials met at the bridge on Tuesday and quickly approved its replacement as a way of showing that infrastructure expenditures can have an immediate economic effect.

The 1,000-foot bridge crosses a Missouri River tributary about 30 miles southwest of the state Capitol. It was built in 1933. It was closed to large trucks in 2007 because of structural concerns.

The Missouri Department of Transportation also planned to begin work on Tuesday on three other projects.
