The US Interior Department says it will spend $319 million in economic stimulus money on more than 240 Arizona projects.

$180 million of that money will go to the Bureau of Indian Affairs for the construction of schools, libraries and modest energy efficient homes, as well as road and bridge maintenance.

More than $15 million goes to the Bureau of Land Management. Some of that will go to the remediation of abandoned mines.

Nearly $22 million will go to National Park Service projects in Arizona. These include the correction of drainage deficiencies on trails to protect historic archeological sites at the Casa Grande Ruins National Monument.
