In towns in which one or more military [companies] units are located, suitable [armories] facilities for the use of such [companies] units may be built or [purchased] acquired by the state in accordance with [the] military needs and as recommended by the Adjutant General. [from time to time.] The Adjutant General shall prepare and submit to the General Assembly [an armory] a military facility construction or [purchase] acquisition program which shall be considered the policy of the state and shall be the basis for establishing priority in the appropriation of state money for new construction or the [purchase of armories,] acquisition of facilities, including buildings, [or] land or interests therein for military purposes. [, and a copy of such report shall be furnished to the Commissioner of Public Works and the State Properties Review Board.] The [armory] military facility construction or acquisition program shall be submitted to the Governor on or before the first day of January in the odd-numbered years. A copy of such [report] program shall be submitted to the Commissioner of Public Works, the State Properties Review Board and the appropriate committees of the General Assembly. [for their information.] All state contracts [for buildings or purchasing] to acquire buildings, land or interests therein for military purposes shall be made by the Commissioner of Public Works, who [shall have power to purchase land and build armories] may acquire such property by purchase or in the manner set forth in subsection (b) of section 13a-73, subject to the provisions of section 4b-23. Any reassessment of compensation awarded by the commissioner shall be made in accordance with the procedure set forth in section 13a-76. The Comptroller shall draw [his] an order on the Treasurer for such sums as are necessary to pay [bills contracted by said commissioner for the purposes aforesaid] the expenses incurred by the commissioner in making acquisitions under this section, within the limits of [the] appropriations [made] or available funds. [; and the state is authorized to take any land said commissioner deems necessary for the purpose of locating permanent armories, as provided in section 48-12.]
