The NYS Council has learned that there is an upgrade to Grants Gateway that is going to take place on January 8, so DASNY is going to push up the deadline to January 7, 2024. If all NICIP funds are not committed within that time frame, DASNY will reopen after the blackout period. It is currently unclear how long the blackout period will last, but (based on information I just received) if you are planning to apply you should do so ASAP as there appears to be strong interest for NICIP funds. This will be communicated through official channels by DASNY.
Check it out! Just heard back from the Governor’s Office (again) and the RFP was just updated!!!
