USDA Extends Deadlines for Reconnect Rural Broadband Program

摘要

USDA will extend application deadlines for the Rural eConnectivity Pilot Program (Reconnect Program), according to Bette Brand, acting administrator for USDA's Rural Utilities Service. To give potential applicants adequate time to access technical assistance from USDA staff and its partners, the first application deadline will be pushed back to May 31, 2019 or later. Previously, application deadlines began in April. New specific deadlines for Reconnect Program grants, loans, and grant-loan combination applications will be posted in the Federal Register in late February.
