Highway planning and construction in Montana 2nd District (MT-02)

Highway construction obligations coded to Montana 2nd District (MT-02)

CFDA 20.205 and congressional district MT-02 meet here. $1,147,944,634.35 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Highway Planning And Construction’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Montana 2nd District (MT-02), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split planning from construction phases and does not name routes. 620 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a mile-of-road inventory, a project-site map, or a named-contractor file.

Dividing $1,147,944,634.35 by 620 yields about $1,851,523.60 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical project cost or a posted per-mile figure. 620 awards is a thick highway file, thinner than WV-01’s 1,256-row pair and thinner than WY-00’s 913-row pair. Contractors remain unpublished. Do not treat MT-02’s 20.205 cell as a synonym for every Highway construction account nationwide. Open Montana 2nd District for the district table without this program filter, CFDA 20.205 for CFDA 20.205 without the MT-02 filter, Montana federal spending for every program in the Montana extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $1,147,944,634.35.

What Highway construction contributes to this pair

USAspending labels CFDA 20.205 as Highway Planning And Construction. That catalog number produced $1,147,944,634.35 when crossed with Montana 2nd District (MT-02) place of performance. The program-wide 20.205 hub does not require MT-02 geography. The district hub does not require Highway construction. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 620 awards. The packet does not split planning from construction phases and does not name routes.

Correlation is not causation: Montana 2nd District (MT-02) did not “cause” $1,147,944,634.35 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 20.205 × MT-02 only. It is not a mile-of-road inventory, a project-site map, or a named-contractor file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.

District geography versus Montana statewide totals

Montana 2nd District (MT-02) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list MT-02 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Montana districts belong on those ties even when the CFDA is also 20.205. Montana 2nd District (MT-02) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Montana. Other Montana districts are separate joins even when they reuse CFDA 20.205. Montana 2nd District (MT-02) is a numbered geography, not Montana At-Large. Place of performance is MT-02 only.

Montana federal spending shows how CFDA 20.205 sits beside other programs in the same state extract. $1,147,944,634.35 is one district-program column, not the state table. This packet does not split Montana 2nd District (MT-02) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different CFDA stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Highway Planning And Construction. The district-wide obligation total published here is $9,996,419,057.28; $1,147,944,634.35 is the Highway construction slice of that denominator.

Why this is not an outlay register

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $1,147,944,634.35 is that kind of sum for Highway Planning And Construction inside MT-02 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same CFDA rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $1,147,944,634.35 as given.

Montana’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 620-row Highway construction cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 620 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. 620 is not a count of miles, projects, or contractors. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($1,851,523.60) is a concentration statistic, not a typical project cost or a posted per-mile figure.

Live tables versus this snapshot

Cite USAspending.gov: Highway Planning And Construction (CFDA 20.205) obligated $1,147,944,634.35 on 620 awards coded to Montana 2nd District (MT-02). Name Highway Planning And Construction and Montana 2nd District (MT-02) together. Keep the obligation word. If Montana 2nd District or CFDA 20.205 has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a mile-of-road inventory, a project-site map, or a named-contractor file. 11.5% of $9,996,419,057.28 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score. Wyoming’s highway pair uses an at-large stamp (WY-00). That is a different district field, not a Montana addend.

Keep Highway Planning And Construction, Montana 2nd District (MT-02), $1,147,944,634.35, and 620 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. CFDA 20.205 is the 20.205 parent without a MT-02 filter. Montana federal spending is the Montana parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with Highway construction does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.

What this packet refuses to infer

620 awards is a thick highway file, thinner than WV-01’s 1,256-row pair and thinner than WY-00’s 913-row pair. Contractors remain unpublished. A large row count makes a project split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $1,851,523.60) and the district share (11.5% of $9,996,419,057.28) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Montana 2nd District and CFDA 20.205 if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Montana 2nd District (MT-02) as more Highway construction-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 20.205 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 20.205 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $1,147,944,634.35 and 620 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.

Questions

How much Highway construction spending is coded to Montana 2nd District (MT-02)?

Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $1,851,523.60, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $1,147,944,634.35 include every Highway construction project in MT-02?

The packet publishes one CFDA rollup. The packet does not split planning from construction phases and does not name routes. $1,147,944,634.35 is the combined obligation sum for CFDA 20.205 inside MT-02 coding. This page will not invent a project pie or name contractors. Open CFDA 20.205 and Montana 2nd District to inspect parent tables. 620 remains an action count, not a count of miles, projects, or contractors.

Is $1,147,944,634.35 cash already paid in Montana 2nd District (MT-02)?

No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline. Treating $1,147,944,634.35 as checks already cleared in Montana 2nd District (MT-02) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 620 awards. Prefer the live district and program hubs if the tables moved.
