Funding, notices, announcements
News
SOWIB has filed 170 posts under its News tab. 103 of them are monthly economic-indicator reports, which read as a followable series at Economic Indicators instead of as news. These are the other 67: funding awards, public notices, and announcements.
How the archive is dated
Dated posts first, undated posts after
The remaining 47 are shown as SOWIB published them, marked “Date not stated,” and held after the dated posts rather than being placed in the timeline by a guess. The 20 posts that do carry a date span 2017 to 2018 alone.
The monthly reports
The monthly indicator reports are read as a series
103 of the 170 posts SOWIB has published are monthly economic indicator reports. Here the data and the announcements each get their own surface, so neither is read by scrolling past the other: the reports are read as one continuous series per county, and this page is the rest.
