Boca Raton to request $1.1 billion from economic stimulus package
Boca Raton - In anticipation of a federal spending spree, Boca Raton is asking for about $1.1 billion for construction and "green" projects in the city.
A letter outlining the city's request will be mailed to state and federal legislators who represent the city today. In it, Mayor Susan Whelchel asks for $500 million for a new Boca Raton Community Hospital, a project the nonprofit hospital abandoned because of its ailing finances. The 75 other city projects would cost about $618 million and generate almost 20,000 jobs.
President-elect Barack Obama is calling for somewhere around $775 billion for a stimulus plan to jump-start the sagging economy. While spending on infrastructure such as roads and bridges is expected to be a major component, the criteria for local projects to win funding have not been publicized.
…
Whelchel said the upcoming stimulus package would be an opportunity to procure money for Boca Raton Community Hospital, whose financial losses have made its plans for a new facility improbable. Jerry Fedele, the hospital's chief executive officer, said he appreciated the city's efforts.
