Today we launched www.NCRecovery.gov to ensure that North Carolina’s handling of the federal recovery funds is accountable, transparent and efficient. That’s what Governor Perdue charged me to do when she put me in charge of the Office of Economic Recovery and Investment.
On the website you can find information about the recovery legislation and how it affects North Carolina. And you will be getting the most up-to-date information on how that money is being spent in North Carolina.
As federal agencies release their guidelines for the distribution of funds and accountability requirements, we will be updating the NCrecovery.gov so you can see the latest information. Eventually you will be able to suggest projects for funding, find out how to apply for grants or contracts and you can track how North Carolina is spending its recovery dollars.
The recovery plan offers a great opportunity for us create jobs, stabilize our budget and rebuild and expand our infrastructure – but only we spend the money wisely – and the best way to ensure that is to be accountable, transparent and efficient.
