American Recovery and Reinvestment Act

The Ones Who Got it Done

The latest issue of Missouri Resources focuses on the impact of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in Missouri, and how Missouri Department of Natural Resources staff helped Missourians put approximately $358 million in Recovery Act money to work. Ninety-seven percent of this money was passed directly to local communities and contractors through numerous projects.

The Winter 2011 issue of MR is entitled, “The Green Machine.” To see the money directed to each of these projects, as well as a county-by-county breakdown of the disbursement of these funds, click on the following links: dnr.mo.gov/magazine/2011-winter.pdf#page=7 and dnr.mo.gov/magazine/2011-winter.pdf#page=27.

Here are some of the Natural Resources staff who diligently worked to design the Missouri Recovery Act programs, handle the federal paperwork and document that proper procedures and oversight were taking place to put these funds to work for all Missourians.
