Source: West Virginia Department of Economic Development, BEAD final proposal files: subgrantees and deployment projects (final, 11/22/2025) (retrieved 2026-09-24). Grants total $545,692,253.56, matching NTIA. Locations are the counts in each project description and total 73,044, which is 47 under NTIA's 73,091 (the gap is all fiber, likely community anchor institutions in a file we could not download). West Virginia's project names carry no county detail. Fiber miles are the state's estimates. Hardy Telecommunications was named provisionally in September 2025 but is not in the final files. 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 West Virginia 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.
