Grants total $30,672,750, matching NTIA, and locations 7,032 against NTIA's 7,033. Fiber mileage isn't shown because the state's per-project estimates are not plausible as miles. Provisional awards can change as the state finalizes agreements.
What it means for contractors
Fiber locations are the ones that turn into construction: underground and aerial placement, boring, splicing, drops, and restoration. The providers that won these areas build them, often with subcontractors. Check the Hawaii broadband office's BEAD page for the providers selected in each area. Those providers, and the primes they hire, are who to call about sub work.
