Awarded has several connotations. One can be awarded a contract if there are several bidders, for example. They weren't given something for free if it's earned. Medals given to servicemembers are awards and none are given for free.

There always seems to be a lot of socializing of the costs and privatizing of the profits when sports facilities get built.

I’m sure this one will be different, though…

Hopefully it’s a net gain for the area.
