By Dennis Holt - The Brooklyn Eagle

BROOKLYN -- For the first time, the public is beginning to get a sense of how Brooklyn is benefiting from the federal stimulus funding on public works projects.

As of now Brooklyn has been allocated more than $308 million in federal funds in two areas -- transportation and public housing. The housing allocation comes to 4.65 percent of the total national government grant. Brooklyn has more public housing than any other borough.
