What is eligible property? May more than one SBT project be approved on an eligible property?
 
Answer:
Eligible property means property for which eligible activities are identified in a brownfield plan under the Brownfield Redevelopment Financing Act, that was used or is currently used for commercial, industrial, or residential purposes and is either a facility (environmentally contaminated property), functionally obsolete, or blighted. An eligible property may include parcels that are adjacent and contiguous to the qualified property if the development of the adjacent and contiguous parcels is expected to increase the captured taxable value of the property. Functionally obsolete or blighted property must be located in a qualified local governmental unit.

Eligible property for the purpose of the SBT credit is designated by the local Brownfield Redevelopment Financing Authority in an approved brownfield plan. This designation must include a description of the eligible property and it's location, the basis of its eligibility, and a summary of the eligible activities and their estimated cost, whether or not Tax Increment Financing will be used. It should also include a description of the planned project or development. Because a project is the total of all eligible investment on an eligible property, only one SBT brownfield project can be approved on a single eligible property as designated in an approved brownfield plan. An existing brownfield plan may be amended to apply to additional parcels of eligible property or to divide a larger eligible property into separate smaller eligible properties.
