SUBJECT: American Recovery and Reinvestment Act — Weekly Update
The purpose of this report is to provide the City Council with regular updates regarding the efforts
of the City of Fort Worth and its regional partners to successfully apply for and secure grant
funding through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA).
The ARRA Community Task Force continues to meet to share information about possible funding
resources, but there will be no new postings to the City's website for the week of May 11.
However, you will see one correction to the Workforce Solutions for Tarrant County's posting
regarding the Wagner Peyser grants. These are formula- driven grants, not competitive grants.
