The bill will impact a wide range of businesses and industries in Mesa from healthcare to energy to education and transportation. The City of Mesa will receive some recovery dollars for critical city projects and programs, but because funding will come from multiple places and on different schedules, we do not yet know how much funding will ultimately be available. It may be a year or more before Mesa has a final total of funds received as a result of this federal legislation.

Funding may come through several sources:

1. Direct allocations to the City – i.e., Community Development Block Grants
    
2. Regional distributions from organizations like the Maricopa Association of Governments
    
3. The State of Arizona – formula funds, grants and competitive processes (including new energy funds and transportation projects)
    
4. Federal agencies – i.e., regional Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)

The City of Mesa is preparing to apply for funds where possible and appropriate, although in some cases, the City is still waiting for both the state and federal government to send specific directives/deadlines/criteria for the funds.  Additional criteria can be found on several Federal and State ARRA Web sites.

As Mesa is awarded funds, this page will be updated. Please check back regularly for updates.
