Our good friends at the investigative newsroom ProPublica have updated their federal stimulus tracker database to include a project-by-project breakdown of stimulus money spent within individual counties.
I plugged in San Diego County and got this list of grants. It’s an interesting list, with a host of grant recipients ranging from local uber-builder Douglas Barnhart to National City’s Bay Vista College of Beauty.
We could use some help combing through the list. Take a gander and e-mail me david.washburn@voiceofsandiego.org with anything that you think warrants a closer look or is especially interesting.
You can also check out previous stories we’ve done on local wish lists for stimulus money here and here.
