Illinois is getting ready for broadband stimulus

Here’s the latest info from our friends in Illinois:

On Friday Governor Quinn launched www.Recovery.Illinois.gov, a tool for every taxpayer interested in the $787 billion federal stimulus package.

This site allows us to quickly share state-focused information about the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, collect project ideas from the public, and direct people to relevant state and/or federal agencies and applications. We look forward to working with you to make the Illinois recovery effort a success.

***We are planning a Chicago/Springfield meeting in the next two weeks to focus on getting and using our fair share (and then some) of the broadband components of the ARRA. Please stay tuned for an email invite this week.***

Should you have questions or concerns about Recovery.Illinois.Gov, please send a message to gov.recovery@illinois.gov.

I think it’s great news. So great that maybe we ought to take a page out of their book! I see that Steve Clift has started an online conversation. That’s a good start too.
