The area development fund in the State Treasury shall be administered by the
Department for Local Government. The fund may receive state appropriations,
gifts, grants, and federal funds and shall be disbursed by the State Treasurer
upon the warrant of the commissioner of the Department for Local
Government. Any unallotted or unencumbered balances in the fund shall be
invested in United States government securities maturing not later than one (1)
year from the date of investment, and the income from the investments shall be
prorated for expenditure for capital projects in area development districts
according to the formula provided in KRS 42.370.
Money in the fund shall be used only for capital projects which contribute to
community or industrial development in the Commonwealth, KRS 48.300 and
48.500 notwithstanding. Capital projects eligible for financing out of the fund
include and shall be limited to:
(a) The construction, reconstruction, renovation, and maintenance of
buildings and other improvements to real estate;
(b) The acquisition of real property and interests in real property;
(c) The purchase of major items of equipment;
(d) Industrial site development projects, including land reclamation, clearing,
grading, draining, landscaping, and the construction of walkways and
fences;
(e) The extension and installation of water, gas, sewer, and electrical utilities
lines to public facilities and industrial sites;
(f) The provision of solid waste management or disposal systems bringing
counties into compliance with state or federal law. All expenses incurred
in connection with or incidental to the construction or acquisition of a
capital project under this section, including architectural, engineering,
legal, and other expenses required for the projects may be paid out of the
fund. Money in the fund may be used to retire a mortgage or other
indebtedness encumbering an eligible capital project made within the
preceding five (5) calendar years to secure the repayment of moneys
loaned or advanced to finance the construction or acquisition of the
project and may be used in match or in combination with funds obtained
from other sources for an eligible capital project. No money shall be
expended out of the fund, directly or indirectly, to pay or reimburse the
cost of any feasibility study, master plan for any capital improvement
development or redevelopment project, the purchase of consumable
supplies or any administrative salary, or other operating or capital
expense of any area development district or for the acquisition,
construction, reconstruction, renovation, or maintenance of any building
or property of schools, state institutions of higher learning, or any road,
street, bridge, or highway.
The board of directors of each area development district shall determine from
among the capital project proposals submitted by eligible beneficiary agencies,
the capital projects to be proposed to be constructed or acquired out of the
fund. The area development districts shall submit to the commissioner of the
Department for Local Government the capital projects selected for construction
or acquisition within the districts. Each project proposal shall include: a detailed
description of the project; a statement of the public benefit to be derived from
the project; if available, design plans and specifications for the project; an
itemized estimate of the cost of the project; a statement of the sources and
amounts of funds available from any other source for the construction or
acquisition of the project; and other information relating to the proposed capital
project as the Department for Local Government may require.
