Sorry to be pedantic but the title is a bit misleading.
TMT has selected Hawaii as its preferred site. In order for it to be actually built on Mauna Kea, it has to obtain a Conservation District Use permit, as explained in the linked article. Due to Hawaii politics this isn't necessarily a slum dunk, but I whole-heartedly wish them luck.
