Federal spending is helping drive recovery of Paul Ryans hometown
By Greg Sargent
<...>
So its worth pointing out that Ryans hometown of Janesville, Wisconisn, where he still lives, is recovering economically in no small part because of money from the stimulus and other federal grants.
The relevant info is towards the end of Ryan Lizzas recent New Yorker profile of Ryan. As Lizza put it, government spending programs are at the heart of his hometowns recovery.
Lizza reported that several major economic development projects financed by federal money are underway in Ryans hometown. Theres the Janesville Innovation Center, which will provide entrepreneurs with commercial space in which to launch their ideas. This is being funded by a $1.2 million stimulus grant, Lizza notes.
Thats not all. As Lizza notes, the federal government is contributing over $10 million to a new facility in Janesville that will produce a medical tracer that used to be made outside the U.S. The new plant could employ some 150 people.
