1.9 	and cities to provide up to 50 percent of the capital costs of housing infrastructure necessary 
1.10 	for an eligible cooperative manufactured housing development project. The agency shall

2.6 	(1) the project is necessary to increase sites available for housing development that will 
2.7 	provide adequate housing stock for the current or future workforce; and

2.11 	the agency, subject to this section. The agency's decisions and application of the criteria are

2.18 	awarded for that project.
