Officials from Gov. Bill Ritter's economic recovery team plan to host two public meetings on the federal recovery package Sept. 21 in Craig.
The meetings will be from 2 to 4 p.m. at the First Congregational Church of Christ, 630 Green St., with one focusing on general issues and the other on how small businesses can access recovery funds.
"We will explain how the recovery act works, how it will roll out in stages and how the money is being used in your area," said Myung Kim, communications manager for the recovery team.
She said the recovery act has come to Moffat County in several ways, such as funding K-12 public education and public colleges, increasing unemployment and food stamp payments and paying for emergency food aid.
"There's a lot of money that's going to the counties to essentially help the safety net programs and go to infrastructure and also the tax breaks going to working families," Kim said.
The team also plans to host a similar event from 10 a.m. to noon Sept. 22 in Steamboat Springs at Centennial Hall, 124 10th St.
The Colorado Economic Recovery Accountability Board also will host its monthly meeting from 1 to 4 p.m. Sept. 22 at Centennial Hall.
The board is tasked with overseeing all recovery funds coming to the state and is appointed by the governor.
