Overview of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
(Recovery Act)
The Recovery Act was signed into law by President Obama on
February 17th, 2009. It is an unprecedented effort to jumpstart our
economy, create or save millions of jobs, and put a down payment on
addressing long-neglected challenges so our country can thrive in
the 21st century. The Act is an extraordinary response to a crisis
unlike any since the Great Depression, and includes measures to
modernize our nation's infrastructure, enhance energy independence,
expand educational opportunities, preserve and improve affordable
health care, provide tax relief, and protect those in greatest need.
