Does the economic recovery plan list any requirements for infrastructure projects?
Yes. The recovery plan requires that priority be given to projects that can award contracts within 120 days of enactment of the plan, can be completed in 3 years, and are located in economically distressed areas. In addition, the recovery plan requires that any funds given to a state or local government for infrastructure projects: • must be an appropriate use of taxpayer dollars; • can be started and completed expeditiously; • must be implemented in a manner that maximizes job creation and economic benefit.
