Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger launched www.recovery.ca.gov on Friday. The Web site will provide Californians with tools to monitor ongoing activity and up-to-date spending information about the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The Web site will also post the geographic distribution of expenditures through the use of digital mapping technology, according to a press release. It will also be used to meet federal reporting requirements, and grant announcements will be posted there.
"We are working hand-in-hand with President Obama to help put Californians back to work and revitalize our economy," Schwarzenegger said in a statement. "We are fighting for every federal stimulus dollar -- and will work to ensure each dollar is spent effectively and with transparency and accountability."
Officials from Schwarzenegger's administration attended a White House conference on federal economic stimulus in Washington, D.C., on Thursday that was hosted by Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.
California's new recovery Web site joins a growing network of state portals that will complement the federal government's Recovery.gov. They are posted on a map.
