New York Opens BEAD Request for Applications Period

The ConnectALL Deployment Program in New York has released their Request for Applications for priority, reliable, and alternative technology solutions for the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment Program. The RFA seeks proposals for about $644 million in funding. It is based on the New York Volume II BEAD Proposal, which was approved by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration. According to the New York Volume II BEAD Proposal, the state’s scoring phase will have three elements: A grant area determination process that will ensure subgrantees apply in appropriate geographic areas; receipt of applications during which applicants will submit their proposed projects; and a negotiation phase, in which the ConnectAll office will engage with applicants to reach final project boundaries and costs.
