is staggering.
$1.8 billion is a rounding error in the federal budget. If you're going to thrive on graft, it doesn't need to even be a blip on the radar to be unnoticed.
And, there isn't a person in the world today that can give you an honest accounting of basically any "project" or "investment" any government makes. And that isn't an accident.
To answer your question, I would guess it went to so many groups and agencies that pass out the dough, and that operate under the banner of "community" investment. That can be the garbage workers union, schools, the fire department pension fund, taking a vacant lot owned by a connected pol and building a ballfield or playground no one will use. The list is endless
