Rural Manufacturing and Industrial Site Redevelopment Program established
Fiscal Detail and Notes
Authorizing the Maine Rural Development Authority (MRDA) to utilize funds from its Commercial Facilities Development Program for the newly established Rural Manufacturing and Industrial Site Redevelopment Program will have no fiscal impact to the State.  This provision will, however, result in less funds being available for the Commercial Facilities Development Program.  According to the Finance Authority of Maine, who administers the funds for the MRDA, it had $4,859,186 available to fund all of its programs as of March 31, 2017, with a total of $4,108,176 available to lend.
