The deadline is April 25.\n\nThe 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.\n\nThe money also comes from an American Rescue Plan Act program.\n\n“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_.",
