FEDERAL UPDATE

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)

On February 17, President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) – also known as the Federal Stimulus Bill – which reflects the largest infusion of federal funds since the 1960s.  Totaling $787 billion over two years, the bill includes approximately $462 billion in spending and $325 billion in tax cuts.  New York State is expected to get approximately $24.6 billion in funding, based on estimates by the NYS Division of the Budget.
