The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) seeks to create a foundation upon which we can build as we continue to confront these economic challenges. Agencies using recovery funds must provide for the transparency of this spending to the taxpaying public, and as such the public benefits of these funds shall be reported clearly, accurately, and in a timely manner.

This is meant to ensure that these dollars are being invested in initiatives and strategies that make a difference in their communities and across the country.

I am encouraged to see these funds flowing into Bergen County. This website will allow each and every one of you to delve into the local projects and programs that are benefiting from this flow of Federal money.

Thank you.
