writing to you today to inform you of an important
update in the call for applications for our Connect
to Innovate program: the deadline for applications
will be extended to
<b>April 20, 2017 at Noon Eastern Time. </b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:115%">Over
the course of the last few weeks, potential
applicants from across the country have requested
more time to complete project applications to our
program. Since our goal is to ensure that as many
rural and remote communities as possible benefit
from improved broadband access, we are extending the
application period by 5 more than weeks.
