  1  9 and installation of property that becomes an integral part
  1 10 of the project under contract which project upon completion
  1 11 becomes part of the raceway facility, and other costs incurred

  1 20 subparagraph (5), project costs shall be determined as of the
  1 21 date the change of control occurs.

  1 35 rebate is limited to the lesser of $2 million or the total
  2  1 project costs, if such a project is undertaken at the raceway
  2  2 facility.
