Appalachian Regional Commission federal obligations in West Virginia
Appalachian Regional Commission shows $63,279,951 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to West Virginia, across 43 awards. Awarding-agency 309 and West Virginia (WV) are the pair. 43 awards against $63,279,951 is a 43-award regional-commission file, not a county poverty census. The implied mean is about $1,471,626.77 per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical invoice. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.
Key figures
- Appalachian Regional Commission obligated $63,279,951 in West Virginia across 43 awards (USAspending.gov).
- The pair is awarding-agency 309 × place-of-performance WV.
- Amounts are obligations, not outlays; no fiscal year is in this packet.
- The implied mean near $1,471,626.77 is $63,279,951 divided by 43, not a typical award.
- The join does not name contractors and does not measure named infrastructure sites, county poverty ranks, or mile-marker lists.
Commission 309 overlapping West Virginia
Appalachian Regional Commission as awarding agency, West Virginia as place-of-performance: 43 records summing to $63,279,951. A Appalachian Regional Commission award coded outside WV is out. An award in West Virginia from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. West Virginia (WV) excludes Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and Kentucky. A Huntington-coded award with an Ohio place-of-performance tag is a different cell.
43 awards against $63,279,951 is a 43-award regional-commission file, not a county poverty census. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 43 as 43 unique named infrastructure sites, county poverty ranks, or mile-marker lists. Appalachian Regional Commission in West Virginia is the both-keys table. West Virginia federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Appalachian Regional Commission is the agency book without an WV filter. All spending ties lists other joins.
The Commission’s statutory region is not a packet field. Named hollows, coal-county ranks, and mile markers stay unpublished. Correlation is not causation: West Virginia did not cause $63,279,951 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 309 × WV only.
ARC is not a poverty-rank table
$63,279,951 does not measure named infrastructure sites, county poverty ranks, or mile-marker lists. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 309 and an WV place-of-performance tag.
Do not treat 43 awards as a census of named infrastructure sites, county poverty ranks, or mile-marker lists. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If West Virginia federal spending or Appalachian Regional Commission matched $63,279,951 and 43, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state ARC joins are other pairs, not addends.
West Virginia, not an Appalachia-only folklore map
Place of performance WV is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. West Virginia (WV) excludes Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and Kentucky. A Martinsburg-coded award with a Maryland place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.
This packet does not split $63,279,951 by city, county, or named facility. 43 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.
Forty-three obligations
Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $63,279,951 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in West Virginia confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.
West Virginia’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 43 awards USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $63,279,951. Sharing a geography with Appalachian Regional Commission does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.
Citing ARC in West Virginia
Cite USAspending.gov: Appalachian Regional Commission (agency 309) obligated $63,279,951 on 43 awards coded to West Virginia. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as named infrastructure sites, county poverty ranks, or mile-marker lists.
Prefer Appalachian Regional Commission in West Virginia if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. West Virginia federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to WV. Appalachian Regional Commission is the 309 parent without the WV filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $63,279,951.
A usable footnote names Appalachian Regional Commission, West Virginia, $63,279,951, and 43. The compact headline $63.3M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $1,471,626.77 is $63,279,951 divided by 43. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
Regional-commission dollars without a site roster
West Virginia’s ARC overlay is 43 awards totaling $63,279,951. The Commission’s statutory region is not a packet field. Named hollows, coal-county ranks, and mile markers stay unpublished. Adding parent hubs into $63,279,951 would invent a combined West Virginia total. Keep 309 × WV as the pair.
