COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Ohio has plenty of President Barack Obama's economic stimulus package left to spend in 2010.
The state will give rebates to people who buy new, energy-efficient appliances, begin work on a massive new bridge for downtown Cleveland and finish high-profile projects to improve drinking water in rural areas.
Still up for grabs is $8 billion in stimulus money that Obama has set aside for high-speed rail projects. By late January, the Federal Rail Administration will decide if Ohio gets $564 million for a 79 mph passenger rail service connecting Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton and Cincinnati.
Obama's $787 billion stimulus package, signed in February, gave Ohio $8.2 billion.
Job creation will get further scrutiny as more programs ramp up in 2010.
