The largest allocation given to any corporation was that of $243,282,000 which went to the Port of Spain City Corporation which is controlled by the PNM. This was an increase of $20,087, 500 from its fiscal 2019 allocation.

The smallest allocation to a single corporation was that of $64,966,500 which went to the UNC controlled Mayaro/Rio Claro Regional Corporation. But this was an increase in that corporation's allocation from the $57,230,782 it received in fiscal 2019.

Among the UNC corporations, the Couva/Tabaquite Talparo Regional Corporation got the largest allocation of $109,993,400. Within the PNM corporations, the Point Fortin Borough Corporation got the smallest allocation of $71,764,700 for fiscal 2020.
