TARP Money at Work in Thurston County

Listening to NPR the other day do a story on the dollars being spent by the federal government stimulus led me to recovery.org, which you can drill into by state and county to see where the federal dollars are being spent and on what.

The NPR piece talked about how the company, Onvia, is running a better "recovery dollar tracking" website that the government itself (their is at recovery.gov).

Here are some interesting project on the list for Thurston County - I still haven't figured out if they're actually going to happen or not - help anyone?

1. City of Tumwater - Capitol Boulevard Sidewalk and Bike Lane Project ($158,000 Te)
2. City of Lacey - Lacey Woodland Regional Trail ($6,965 Te)
3. Multiple projects for the Olympic National Forest
