Is the Stimulus stimulating?
Posted on | August 10, 2009 | No Comments
Today on GreenBiz.com, their contributor Sarah Terry-Cobo published a terrific piece called Mapping the Path of Stimulus Funding that takes a look at where the billions of dollars from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) are going in this country. Even better, they made a map! Who doesn’t like maps? Have a look below:
Included in the map are instances where the General Services Administration (the GSA) is using allocated funds to affect 250 buildings, with an emphasis on converting them into “high performance green buildings,” under one of the following categories:
- New construction, including Land Ports of Entry
- Full and partial building modernization
- Limited scope projects
- Small Projects
So, the good news is, the stimulus IS stimulating and the funds are going towards green building projects. If anyone has any suggestions on how to get involved in working on those green building projects, aka, for a salary, please let us know!
