Georgia DOT launches stimulus project website
March 4, 2009 at 6:36 pm by Thomas Wheatley in News
The Georgia Department of Transportation has unveiled a website to allow residents to track projects that are part of President Barack Obama’s stimulus program.
From the department:
Visitors to the site will find links to topics including Georgia’s stimulus transportation funding chart, project categories, the Department’s current efforts, links to other sites and resources, frequently asked questions and much more. The Web site will be closely monitored and periodic updates will be added continually.
The department’s December call for transportation project proposals generated more than 850 responses from Georgia cities and counties. The president’s $787 billion plan allocated $932 million for transportation projects in the Peach State.
The department says it’s combing through the cities and counties’ wishlists — which totaled more than $1 billion — and will post information about projects once they are approved. That could be as early as Friday or Monday.

On behalf of all policy wonks, I thank you for this.

The website is a great idea. Hopefully, the process remains transparent. Also, let’s hope the State doesn’t play politics with the City of Atlanta and try to screw them out of stimulus money.
