- Project scope and eligible costs: Defines the project components eligible for funding and outlines eligible expenditures (e.g., site acquisition, utilities, roads, design, construction, and equipment purchases necessary for operation).
- Local match and contributions: May set requirements for local funding or in-kind contributions as a condition of state support (often a local match percentage or non-state funding share).
- Fiscal controls: Establishes oversight mechanisms, project milestones, and reporting requirements to ensure proper use of funds and adherence to schedules and budgets.
- Timeline and procurement: Addresses project timelines, bid and procurement processes, and potential sequencing of funding disbursements tied to project phases.
