Grants total $587,851,818.02, matching NTIA. The files count 104,691 locations against NTIA's 104,654; Oregon's anchor-institution file is dated two months before the project files, which likely accounts for the extra 37. 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 Oregon 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.
