5) The site of the facility should be within 25 miles of a state designated rural area of critical economic concern;
6) Specific deadlines for construction and employment; and 7) The project will attract substantial additional economic activity to the region. The grant may be awarded, but no funds may be released if these requirements are not met. If these requirements are not met by March 1, 2011, the funds provided above shall revert to the General Revenue Fund.

When you get another moment please see if you can find out when the proposed site was chosen. Were there any other options considered? Who decided on this location?

Thank you for investigating this. It seems that if the public is expected to fund this with $260,000,000 of state and local taxes, then the public has a right to know the details.
