Pennsylvania Statutes Title 72 P.S. Taxation and Fiscal Affairs § 1606-D. Ranking of applications

Whenever the department determines that there will not be enough money in the fund to make loans to all of the municipalities expected to submit eligible applications during an application period, the department shall rank the applications in order of priority to determine which loans shall be made first.  A system of ranking shall be established for the purposes of this section by regulation and shall provide for consideration of factors such as whether the municipality has previously received a loan pursuant to this act;  the financial condition of the municipality;  and the impact of the purchase of equipment or the purchase, construction, renovation or rehabilitation of facilities on the health, safety or welfare of the residents of the municipality.
