The $819 billion Recovery Act has been estimated to create or save more than 3 million jobs by the end of next year...According to Recovery.gov, the funds will be allocated to infrastructure, healthcare, education and training, and energy. Among the first to receive funds will be shovel-ready projects, or those projects that are ready or nearly ready to be started...According to the total tally of StimulusWatch.org, there are 1,604,371 jobs lined up for the next year.Here's a list of Stimulus projects in my home of North Carolina. I am most excited about the North Corridor light rail line additions from downtown Charlotte up to southern Iredell where I live now. Charlotte is one of the fastest growing cities in the US and keeping up with demands for improved infrastructure has been a challenge for city planners. A light rail network will be a huge step for bringing the city together, creating jobs, reducing congestion on highways and roads, and reducing pollution from cars.
