- York County has received $35.5 million in stimulus money. Most ($13.9 million) is from the transportation department; $10.4 from the education department; and $7.6 million from the agriculture department.
- The lowest amount listed, about $42,000, came from the Small Business Administration.
- School districts, colleges and the Art Institute of York are getting thousands of dollars through the Pell Grant program.
- The Greater Hanover Housing Corp. got about $350,000 for the Section 8 housing program.
