WMFE 90.7 FM's Follow the Money was an occasional series that tracked how the federal stimulus money was being spent in Central Florida, from schools and roads, to law enforcement and health care and beyond. Who’s getting the promised new jobs, what local projects are getting a kick-start, and how much of the money actually ended up staying in the region?

WMFE hosted StoryCorps in Orlando from January 10 - February 2, 2008, in front of the Orlando Public Library. StoryCorps is an independent nonprofit project whose mission is to honor and celebrate one another’s lives through listening. Listen to the local stories here.
