American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009

Welcome to the State of Maine Web site devoted to The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. I appreciate the great interest from municipalities, institutions, businesses and others in Maine regarding the impact of this important federal legislation.

Through the end of March 2010, Maine State Government agencies had expended $792,422,158.26 of the approximately $1.2 billion in Recovery Act funding anticipated to flow through state government. Of this funding, roughly one-third is subject to quarterly reporting requirements included in the Recovery Act. For the past reporting period, which covered January 1, 2010 through March 31, 2010, Maine submitted 154 reports detailing $277.22 million in Recovery Act expenditures. The data submitted is searchable and viewable on this site. The largest portion of funding is in entitlement programs such as enhanced Medicaid payments and additional unemployment compensation payments. Those resources are not subject to the quarterly reporting to the federal government, however, the expenditure of funds are captured on our Web site at the county level, allowing visitors to this site to see its distribution. You can also view a county breakdown of the entitlement funding.

Our revised Web site will enable you to see information about the process as it unfolds and to serve as the portal by which you can track how funds are being used in Maine.

I hope you find this information useful as we move forward together to build our economic future.
