Courtesy of Maureen McCabe in Columbus Ohio, the information below leads to a great site where you can see what Stimulus projects are proposed for Pennsylvania, including the Lancaster area.
To view the PA information directly, go to: http://www.stimuluswatch.org/project/by_state/PA&per_page=
I was pretty impressed with some of the Harrisburg projects, but disappointed in what Lancaster has on the table. View the site yourselves, and vote on what you feel is important (or not).

Do you know what projects your community / state has proposed for the US Stimulus Plan? Do you know what each is projected to cost? How many jobs they will create? How much they will cost?

There are three ways to search but Browse by State / City is bound to be the most popular.
I wrote about Columbus Projects - Stimulus Watch on my ColumbusBestBlog.com
Ohio Projects I asked on my blog why Cleveland is NOT on the Ohio list and later found my answer on the FAQ. The list comes from Main Street Economic Recovery from the U.S. Conference of Mayors
Stimulus Watch says of the Wiki
"Below are the "shovel-ready" projects for which this city has requested federal stimulus funding. You can click on a project to read (and add to) its description. You can also discuss the project and vote on whether you believe it is critical or not."
Want to vote on what is important in your community or debate the projects on the list? Visit Stimulus Watch.

thanks for the re-blog Jeannie. A couple of ours are controversial. I am confused why a lot of ours don't even have a number for jobs created.
