Summary

The purpose of this bill is to revise the County Economic Opportunity Development District Act. The bill defines remediation and includes remediation of landfills, former coal mining sites, solid waste facilities or hazardous waste sites as permissible development expenditures for approved projects. The bill changes the standard by which the maximum amounts of reserves that may be established in the financing of a project are measured. The bill provides that the development office cannot approve a project involving remediation unless all development expenditures proposed within a certain timeframe result in more than $50 million in capital investment in the district. The bill also changes the term ordinance to order and corrects other language by changing municipality to county. The bill provides that the development office may not approve a project involving remediation unless the county commission submits clear and convincing information that the proposed remediation expenditures to be financed with bonds or notes do not constitute more than twenty-five percent of a project's total development expenditures.
