BEAD broadband obligations in West Virginia

One prime award carries West Virginia’s BEAD allocation

This tie keeps USAspending assistance where CFDA 11.035 meets West Virginia place of performance. The dollar book is $1,210,800,970. The award count is 1. BEAD state allocations typically post as a single large award to the designated state recipient. One prime record does not mean one ISP was selected, and it does not isolate the Eastern Panhandle from the coalfields.

The join does not prove that West Virginia’s unserved-location count, mountain terrain, or a particular middle-mile map caused $1,210,800,970. Those are other series. This packet has no project list. Correlation is not causation. Packet facts stop at $1,210,800,970, 1 award, WV, and 11.035.

11.035 is not High Cost USF in West Virginia

Universal Service Fund High Cost (CFDA 32.002) is a different catalog. Mixing USF into $1,210,800,970 would invent a broader telecom total than this cell contains. Facts available: West Virginia, CFDA 11.035, $1,210,800,970, 1 award. FCC map locations and ISP subawards are not in the facts.

With one award, the implied mean equals $1,210,800,970. Downstream subawards to ISPs are not additional prime awards in this extract. Unique recipients are unpublished. 1 is not a count of passing addresses.

West Virginia geography on the BEAD tag

WV is the place-of-performance code. A statewide BEAD award can still appear as one record tagged to Charleston or another in-state address. Awards coded to Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, or Maryland stay outside $1,210,800,970 even when a network plan crosses those ridges. The code does not convert $1.21 billion into a fiber map.

West Virginia federal spending is the all-program parent. 11.035 is one row on West Virginia programs. $1.21 billion is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Broadband Equity, Access, And Deployment Program in West Virginia for the filtered table, CFDA 11.035 for 11.035 without a West Virginia filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,210,800,970.

Reading n = 1 under West Virginia BEAD

One award under $1,210,800,970 implies a mean of $1,210,800,970. With a single row, mean and total are the same number. Construction draws can lag the federal obligation by years. The figure is still an obligation aggregate, not an outlay.

Treat 1 as a record count in an aggregate, not as 1 finished last-mile project. Later ingests can restate $1,210,800,970 without changing the join key of 11.035 and WV. Without a transaction register, you cannot see whether the row is a continuation, renewal, or correction.

What the BEAD–West Virginia pair does not prove

A large 11.035 total tagged to West Virginia does not measure whether unserved locations fell, and it does not equal miles built. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $1,210,800,970 on 1 award for BEAD in West Virginia.

Keep both sides of the join: Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment and West Virginia, obligations only. Do not annualize $1,210,800,970 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a construction story.
