PORT CLINTON — One year after the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act became law, it’s still tough to figure out exactly how many jobs it created or preserved in Ottawa County.
Depending on who is crunching the numbers, job-creation estimates range from four to 55. The amount of stimulus funding for the county’s municipalities and businesses is roughly $5 million.
The $787 billion package passed by Congress last February included:
■$288 billion for tax cuts and extended unemployment benefits.
■$224 billion in aid to state governments, funds for education, health care and entitlement programs.
