BROOMFIELD COUNTY ARRA FUNDING AND PROJECTS
Based on the latest information available to the Governor’s Office. This report is not comprehensive because new Recovery Act awards are announced frequently.

The numbers below represent funds that have been awarded and are expected to be received over the life of the Recovery Act. The funds are distributed to a wide range of groups in the county and do not necessarily touch county government.
