determined that not less than $15,000,000
has been committed to the MacPhail Center
for Music from nonstate sources, and that
the available money is sufficient to complete
a functional facility. "Nonstate sources,"
for purposes of this project, means sources
other than a direct state appropriation for
construction of this facility and may include
loans. Money secured before the effective
date of this section may count toward the
required commitment of nonstate sources,
provided it is used for qualified capital
expenditures. Any land acquisition costs paid
by MacPhail qualify as capital expenditures.

transportation, efficient use of existing infrastructure, provision of affordable housing,
multiuse development that constitutes community rebuilding rather than single-use
development, crime reduction, blight reduction, community stabilization, and property tax
