Explanation of the City's Initiative

For Stimulus Spending

Welcome to Richmond Stimulus Tracker, a citizen’s guide to federal stimulus funding allocated to the City of Richmond. Richmond Stimulus Tracker is intended to provide residents and other interested parties the opportunity to follow the City’s allocation of federal stimulus funds as we “Build a Better Richmond.” The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 will enable the City to finance important projects and programs that benefit citizens and create and retain jobs.

This tracker should be used as a research tool and is a method of providing transparency in government. It should be noted that there are several areas of spending where the city administration is not the custodian. These areas include Richmond Public Schools, Port of Richmond, and Richmond Redevelopment and Housing Authority. We hope you find the information on this site helpful.
