100.760. After receipt of an application, the board may, with the approval of the department, enter into an agreement with an eligible industry for a credit pursuant to sections 100.700 to 100.850 if the board determines that all of the following conditions exist:

(2) The applicant's project is economically sound and will benefit the people of Missouri by increasing opportunities for employment and strengthening the economy of Missouri;

(3) Significant local incentives with respect to the project or eligible industry have been committed, which incentives may consist of:

(a) Cash or in-kind incentives derived from any nonstate source, including incentives provided by the affected political subdivisions, private industry and/or local chambers of commerce or similar such organizations; and/or

(b) Relief from local taxes, in either case as acceptable to the board;

(4) Receiving the credit is a major factor in the applicant's decision to go forward with the project and not receiving the credit will result in the applicant not creating new jobs in Missouri;

(5) Awarding the credit will result in an overall positive fiscal impact to the state;

(6) There is at least one other state that the applicant verifies is being considered for the project; and

(7) A significant disparity is identified, using best available data in the projected costs for the applicant's project compared to the costs in the competing state, including the impact of the competing state's incentive programs. The competing state's incentive program shall include state, local, private and federal funds.
