Explanation

(This language amendment provides that funds, over and above the fair market price determined by and retained by the Commonwealth, received from the sale of state property which is subject to joint agreements between the Commonwealth and an Industrial Development Authority, shall be deposited in a new Site Replacement Fund to support additional site and infrastructure development in that locality. Monies in the Fund would be subject to the existing requirements, including local match, of the Virginia Business Ready Sites Program. If funds are not spent by the locality within five years, the proceeds will revert to the general fund.)
