AMARILLO, TEXAS -- The Texas Comptroller's office has just released an important breakdown. It shows where the federal stimulus money was spent in Texas.

The map breaks down where money was spent from contracts, education, energy, environment, health and human services, housing and community development, labor, public safety, research, transportation, and others.

We looked into the map and found that all 26 counties in the Panhandle got a total of $186,378,361.00

For Potter and Randall counties that total was $84,313,346.00

So where did the money go? We contacted TxDOT, it said many of you are already seeing the money in action. These projects include some stimulus funds: The Grand Street overpass and Georgia extension South of 58th and even work on Soncy.

We also checked out where the money went when it comes to education. Many programs were established by the federal government and schools had to apply for grants that were funded by the stimulus money.  The Amarillo College location in Dumas applied and got an energy grant to buy a trailer to do remote training for the wind program plus equipment in the classroom.

Agriculture Under Secretary for Rural Development, Dallas Tonsager, said a newreport outlines how Recovery Act programs administered by USDA Rural Development have affected the rural economy and created or saved jobs. The report highlights how Recovery Act funds will create or save an anticipated 300,000 jobs by funding projects in almost 3,000 counties.

The report also shows that USDA staff approved 95,000 loans, made 2,500 grants and assisted 2,000 rural businesses with loan guarantees. USDA staff assisted 93,000 American families to close home loans, and approved Internet projects that will provide an estimated 7 million people with improved broadband Internet access.
