April 25 Deadline for New York Municipal Broadband

April 7, 2025 – New York State announced on March 27 it was accepting applications for nearly $50 million in funding for municipal broadband. The deadline is April 25.

The state’s Municipal Infrastructure Program has already awarded more than $240 million for open-access, publicly controlled networks. Individual awards under the new round are expected to be under $10 million, according to the state.

The money also comes from an American Rescue Plan Act program.

“Phase 4 of the Municipal Infrastructure Program builds on our ongoing efforts to address broadband gaps in areas that have been overlooked and underserved by traditional internet service providers,” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a statement.
