The development of industrial sites that provide for the relocation or expansion of businesses to or within this Commonwealth: 1. Previously Utilized Sites – A project is eligible for funding if it redevelops, reuses, or revitalizes a previously utilized site for future use by businesses or others which is consistent with an existing comprehensive municipal plan, and the site is zoned for such development at the time of application. This includes but is not limited to a former or underutilized industrial, commercial, military, mining, railroad or institutional site or building. An institutional site includes, among other things, a former school or hospital. 2. Undeveloped Sites – An undeveloped site is eligible for funding if development of the site is consistent with an existing comprehensive county plan and/or an existing comprehensive municipal plan, and the site is zoned for such development at the time of application. If neither a comprehensive county plan nor a comprehensive municipal plan exists, then the applicant (if the applicant is not a municipality) must demonstrate that it has notified the county and municipal governing bodies with jurisdiction over the site that is the subject of an application for a construction grant.
