Recovery Act an investment in conservation and communities

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will receive $290 million under the recently passed American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009--an investment that will create local jobs, address critical conservation needs and help strengthen the agency's infrastructure for the 21st century. The Act provides funding for deferred maintenance, construction, and capital improvement projects on National Wildlife Refuges and National Fish Hatcheries and for high priority habitat restoration projects. It also provides funding for construction, reconstruction, and repair of roads, bridges, property, and facilities and for energy efficient retrofits of existing facilities.
