Assembly. (2) In carrying out the purposes of KRS 154.50-020 to 154.50-030, and in providing for the expenditure of funds to industrial entities which are appropriated by the General
Assembly to assist in the implementation of an industrial improvement project, the

reference to any formula or other objective standard which is based on target levels
of employment, projected interest rates or other financing costs, projected levels of
investment by the industrial entity or any other objective criteria deemed
appropriate by the cabinet under the circumstances. (3) (a) In carrying out the purposes of KRS 154.50-020 to 154.50-030, the expenditure of funds to industrial entities to assist in the implementation of an
industrial improvement project may only be made if: 1. There is a finding by the cabinet, that, based upon reasonable
investigation, the industrial improvement project cannot be funded out of
existing appropriations and is in the best interest of the Commonwealth
because it is reasonably expected to result in the creation or retention in
whole or in part of employment opportunities or of tax revenues; 2. The industrial improvement project is separately approved in writing by
the Governor; 3. The industrial improvement project is separately approved by the
General Assembly; and 4. There is an agreement in writing by the subject industrial entity to
engage in the industrial improvement project setting forth the basis upon
which the amount of monetary assistance provided pursuant to KRS
154.50-020 to 154.50-030 is determined. (b) It is hereby determined and declared as a legislative finding of fact that the provisions and requirements of paragraph (a) of this subsection provide for the
