Recovery Act Summary by Industry Sector

By Ravinder Mangat

NNSP has developed a tool – the Recovery Act Summary by Industry Sector – to identify potential funding available to initiatives working in particular industry sectors from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA).

The workbook categorizes ARRA investments by industry sector, such as construction, healthcare, and information technology. It also lists investments in "green" industries, such as renewable energy and energy efficiency.

Each industry break-out is further sub-divided, with descriptions of programs, specific activities, and level of funding available. Also included is our initial assessment of whether sector initiatives may directly apply for funds.

While this tool is intended to help sector initiatives and supporters identify funding opportunities, it also offers an overview of ARRA’s potential impact on specific industries, such as construction, in which the recovery investments are likely to generate significantly increased economic activity and workforce demand.
