N.C. launches website to track stimulus money

Gov. Bev Perdue has launched a Web site to track how money from the federal economic stimulus bill will pay for projects in North Carolina.

The site, www.ncrecovery.gov, also will provide information about local contract and grant opportunities.

It will be a guide to the services of the newly created Office of Economic Recovery and Investment. In the coming weeks, visitors will be able to track money as it is spent, suggest projects for funding and learn how to apply for contracts and grants that may be available.

“I am committed to providing the people of North Carolina with a simple-to-navigate guide that is efficient, transparent and accountable,” Perdue says. “I want the people of North Carolina to understand exactly how the money will be used to put North Carolina back to work.”

The federal government has created a similar site related to the stimulus bill at www.recovery.gov.
