Recovery Zone Bonds In an effort to stimulate economic growth in distressed areas, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) authorized state and local governments to issue $10 billion in Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds and $15 billion in Recovery Zone Facility Bonds. On June 12, the Treasury Department released allocations for state and local governments, along with interim guidance as to how the bond proceeds may be used. The bonds were allocated to every state and sub-allocated to every county and large municipality in the country, with every state receiving at least .9 percent of the national volume cap for each type of bond.
