(a) The local funding match is a cash match or in-kind
contribution provided by or through the project sponsor. An in-kind
contribution may only include actual and documented pre-construction
or construction-related costs previously incurred by the project sponsor
that are otherwise eligible for reimbursement under applicable statutes
and regulations.
(b) Funds from other federal programs may be used as
a local funding match only when specifically authorized by federal
law or regulation.
(c) Donated services may not be accepted as a local
funding match, but may be used to reduce the overall cost of the project.
(d) If a project selected by the commission is administered
by the department, the project sponsor must provide the cash portion
of the local funding match prior to the commencement of project activities.
