People taking photos from Recovery funded projects
I think if promoted right this has mass appeal.
I’ve driven by hundreds of ARRA projects and I think it would be cool to have people take photos and submit them to Flickr and other sources.
Could also be used as recovery oversight or flickr photos over a map so you can see construction near you.
