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.
What the source gives us
47 of these 67 posts do not say when they were published
Nothing in the source states a year for them, so nothing here invents one. Each renders as SOWIB left it, “Date not stated,” and sorts after every post that does carry a date rather than being placed in the timeline by a guess. The 20 posts that do carry a date span 2017 to 2018 alone.
Why this page holds 67 and not 170
Most of SOWIB’s news feed is a data series
103 of the 170 posts SOWIB has published are monthly economic indicator reports. On the current site they sit in the same feed as funding announcements, so following the data means scrolling past the news and following the news means scrolling past the data. Here they are separated: the reports are read as one continuous series per county, and this page is the rest.
