The site, phoenix.gov/recovery, is believed to be the first of its kind in Arizona.
So far, neither the state nor other major cities here have a Web site dedicated to the economic rescue package, which is expected to deliver billions of dollars to Arizona for transportation, public safety and other areas.
The city says the site was created to mirror Obama’s recovery.gov, where cities, states and other agencies will have to report and disclose how they spent public stimulus dollars.
The Phoenix site is still getting off the ground, but viewers can read about how the city plans to spent more than $60 million its received so far from formula-based grants, and a trip City Council members Claude Mattox, Peggy Neely and Michael Johnson plan to take to Washington, D.C., this weekend to brush up on the stimulus legislation.
