| Obama announces first Transportation-funded stimulus construction project |  |

Source: CNN

Obama and LaHood made the announcement during an appearance before federal workers at the Transportation Department. The resurfacing contract, LaHood said, is going to a Pennsylvania-based family-owned company, America Infrastructure. Read more: http://cnnwire.blogs.cnn.com/2009/03/03/obama-announces... / |

It would seem they are going to try to have a lot of transparency on these projects which is good. I am looking forward to seeing the updates on recovery.gov.
