From the County Manager

Welcome to recovery.jocogov.org, a website designed to inform citizens about dollars received by Johnson County Government from the American Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).  This website is designed to provide transparency and accountability about stimulus funding Johnson County receives. 

As we continue to receive information about funding awards and opportunities, this website will be updated to reflect the dollars Johnson County has received.  Citizens can access up to the week information about how ARRA funding is being spent by Johnson County.  The website also provides links to Federal and State websites to provide you with easy access to information about the overall ARRA stimulus package. 

Johnson County prides itself on being a community of choice.  To continue fostering that sense of community, this website provides another way for citizens to connect with the actions of their government.  Please take time to visit this website for updates. 

Sincerely,

Hannes Zacharias
County Manager
