62.19 business.
62.20 Subd. 3. Grant program established. (a) The commissioner shall make
62.21 competitive grants to local governmental units to provide for up to 50 percent of the
62.22 capital costs to predesign, design, acquire, and construct public infrastructure required to
62.23 support an eligible project. The local governmental unit receiving a grant must provide
62.24 for the remainder of the public infrastructure costs, either in cash or in kind. In-kind
62.25 contributions may include the value of site preparation, other than the public infrastructure
62.26 required to support the eligible project.
62.27 (b) The purpose of the program is to keep or enhance jobs in the area, increase the
62.28 tax base, or to expand or create new economic development through the growth of new
62.29 bioscience businesses and organizations.
62.30 Subd. 4. Application. (a) The commissioner must develop forms and procedures
62.31 for soliciting and reviewing applications for grants under this section. At a minimum, a
62.32 local governmental unit must include the following information in its application:
62.33 (1) a resolution of its governing body certifying that the required local match is
62.34 available and committed;
62.35 (2) a detailed estimate, along with necessary supporting evidence, of the total
62.36 development costs for the site;

63.11 Subd. 5. Priorities. (a) If applications for grants exceed the available appropriations,
63.12 grants must be made for public infrastructure that, in the commissioner's judgment,
63.13 provides the highest return in public benefits for the public costs incurred. "Public benefits"
63.14 include job creation, environmental benefits to the state and region, efficient use of public
63.15 transportation, efficient use of existing infrastructure, provision of affordable housing,
63.16 multiuse development that constitutes community rebuilding rather than single-use
63.17 development, crime reduction, blight reduction, community stabilization, and property tax
63.18 base maintenance or improvement. In making this judgment, the commissioner shall give
63.19 priority to projects with one or more of the following characteristics:
63.20 (1) the potential of the local government unit to attract viable bioscience businesses;
63.21 (2) proximity to public transit if located in a metropolitan county, as defined in
63.22 section 473.121, subdivision 4;
63.23 (3) multijurisdictional projects that take into account the need for affordable housing,
63.24 transportation, and environmental impact;
63.25 (4) the project is not relocating substantially the same operation from another
63.26 location in the state, unless the commissioner determines the project cannot be reasonably
63.27 accommodated within the local governmental unit in which the business is currently
63.28 located, or the business would otherwise relocate to another state or country; and
63.29 (5) the number of jobs that will be created.
63.30 (b) The factors in paragraph (a) are not listed in a rank order of priority; rather, the
63.31 commissioner may weigh each factor, depending upon the facts and circumstances, as
63.32 the commissioner considers appropriate.
63.33 Subd. 6. Local match requirement. In order to qualify for a grant under

63.35 infrastructure costs as a local match. The local governmental unit must pay the local match
63.36 from the unit's general fund; a special property tax levy for that purpose; tax increments;
64.1 regional or federal money available for the economic development; or any other money
64.2 available to the local governmental unit.

64.9 received. The commissioner must deposit all money received under this subdivision into
