American Recovery and Reinvestment Act

Welcome to www.NorthwestMichiganRecovery.org -- northwest Lower Michigan's online source for information on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The intent of ARRA is to jumpstart our economy, create jobs, and help Americans struggling to provide for their families.

The Northwest Michigan Council of Governments has been an active partner to position the region for funding as a result of ARRA. As such we are now offering this web page as a compilation of regional, state, and federal activities related to the Act.


See the Success Stories page for a look at progress in Northwest Michigan.

View the listing of Community Projects in northwest Michigan which have been tackled by the "Earn & Learn" Summer Youth Program, summer 2009. 


Check out the ARRA Flow Chart to see how the money will flow.  


Sign up for e-mail updates on www.Grants.gov to receive all funding opportunity announcements and application modifications.
