Current as of January 01, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

The authority, in determining which projects to approve for financing, shall accord first priority to any project situated in a municipality which at the time the application for project financing is submitted is eligible to receive aid under the “Special Municipal Aid Act,” P.L.1987, c. 75 (C.52:27D-118.24 et seq.) and is coextensive with a “special needs district” designated pursuant to the “Quality Education Act of 1990,” P.L.1990, c. 52 (C.18A:7D-1 et seq.). Subsequent priority shall be assigned to projects in any municipality which, at the time the application for project financing is submitted, is coextensive with a “special needs district” and projects in a qualified municipality shall receive last priority. In making project financing decisions, the authority shall give preference to any project situated in an empowerment neighborhood designated pursuant to section 54 of P.L.1996, c. 62, (C.55:19-69). With respect to projects for which costs are to be financed by the authority, the authority shall consider the following factors:

(1) the economic feasibility of the project;

(2) the extent of economic and related social distress in the municipality and the area to be affected by the project;

(3) the degree to which the project will advance State, regional and local development strategies;

(4) the likelihood that the project shall upon completion be capable of repaying all or part of any financing costs incurred;

(5) the relationship of the project to a comprehensive local development strategy, including other major projects undertaken within the municipality; and

(6) the degree to which the project interfaces with public transportation systems.
