What the Commerce-Kentucky join is

Awarding agency 013 and place-of-performance state KY meet here. $1,201,417,552.05 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Commerce's nationwide budget, not Kentucky's entire federal inflow, and not cash already paid. River-port, manufacturing, and statewide economic-development folklore may send a reader here. Those stories are not packet NAICS and not a census of Kentucky exporters.

81 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — a short award list beside a billion-dollar obligation total. A few large awards can dominate a dollar total even when the row count looks tiny. The join does not rank Kentucky against other states and does not name ports or plants inside the extract.

81 Commerce actions under one Kentucky filter

Dividing $1,201,417,552.05 by 81 yields about $14,832,315.46 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical economic-development grant. Repeat awards and modifications still add rows; the listed count is not a unique-recipient census. Plant names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars.

River-port, manufacturing, and statewide economic-development folklore is a coding conversation, not a packet field. Agency names and recipient rows live on the overlay table, not in this narrative's extra columns.
