They sometimes fall into the trap of thinking it's going to be easy.
Somebody in the County IT department thinks they can be the ISP admin in
their spare time.
You could compile the list yourself. Get a list of BTOP recipients and
try to follow up with a random sample of them.

One of the counties in our service area is in the process of 'thinking
about building a fiber network that we(they) will run ourselves'
We're looking for examples we can give them where the government built
then network, but was then unable to continue to run it, or it didn't
play out the way they expected.
Here in Illinois, another county just recently transferred their BTOP
funded Fiber network to a private entity because they were convinced
they didn't want to run it anymore (there's more to the story, but
that's the long and short from what I gather) There's gotta be
stories like this all over, has there been a list compiled somewhere?
