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.
