On February 17, 2009 President Barack Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act into law. The purpose of this Act is to create and save jobs, jumpstart our economy, and build the foundation for long-term economic growth. The Act includes measures to modernize the nation's infrastructure, enhance America's energy independence, expand educational opportunities, increase access to health care, provide tax relief, and protect those in greatest need.

Earlier this year Mayor Moore became aware that there would be many opportunities for the City of Elkhart to secure monies made available from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. To ensure that City would capitalize on every opportunity, he formed a committee to investigate, apply for and to track the various sources of funding. The Mayor and the committee have worked diligently with the City's Federal Affairs Consultant, Len Simon.

To get more detailed information regarding the funding the City has applied for, will be receiving and will be applying for click here.
