WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) today announced that his economic recovery Web page, designed to provide Ohioans with detailed information on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, now includes additional recovery act funding opportunities and detailed information about filing deadlines and eligibility.
Detailed information on grant opportunities for Energy & Environment, First Responders & Justice, Housing and Transportation is now available on the recovery page.

Brown’s economic recovery Web page will be updated regularly to reflect funding information as it becomes available.
Following the passage of the recovery package, Brown announced this statement:
“This bill accomplishes what we set out to do—rebuild our economy and put Americans back to work,” said Brown. “This isn’t a perfect bill but it is a significant jumpstart that our economy needs. It includes investments in Ohio’s infrastructure which will provide immediate job creation and promote long-term economic development. It also provides relief to middle class families by lowering taxes and making college more affordable. This bill is the first of many steps we will take to rebuild our economy and address the housing crisis.”
