How to access funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funding will be primarily distributed through state agencies that have established programs for releasing federal funding. See what dollar amounts Washington is expected to receive from the federal government.

This website is updated daily with new funding information.

If you know you have a project that may be eligible for funding, please contact the person listed.

What if I already submitted project information to AWC or directly to the Governor's Office?
