Economic Recovery
"With smart investments, targeted tax-cuts for small businesses and working families, and effective work training and education programs for our workforce, we will get our economy on track and growing again." - Congressman Silvestre Reyes
Earlier this year, Congress passed and President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act into law. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is an unprecedented effort to jumpstart our economy, create or save millions of jobs, and put a down payment on addressing long-neglected challenges so our country can thrive in the 21st century. The Recovery and Reinvestment Act is an extraordinary response to a crisis unlike any since the Great Depression and contains targeted investments that will transform our economy with science and technology; modernize roads, bridges, transit and waterways; improve education for the 21st century; lower healthcare costs; help workers hurt by the economy; and protect vital services. It also contains tax cuts for 95% of Americans and is expected to create or save thousands of jobs in the 16th District of Texas.
Below are resources to help the people of the 16th District of Texas take full advantage of the funding that will be available through a variety of agencies. If you have any questions or need any additional information feel free to contact Congressman Reyes' office at 202-225-4831.
