If an application was submitted as a rehabilitation facility project, but was approved as a new facility project, it may be due to one of the following reasons:

1. The description of the investment undertaken did not speak to restoration and or replacement of a functionally obsolete facility involving major improvements such as roof, windows, plumbing, heating, code compliances, etc.
2. The plant rehabilitation district (PRD) in which the project is located no longer qualifies as a PRD because at least 50% of the properties in the district are no longer obsolete. Therefore, only "new" facilities can be located in the district, not "rehabilitation" projects.
3. The district established was an Industrial Development District in which only new projects are allowed, not a Plant Rehabilitation District.
4. The local unit's resolution approving this request approved a new facility project, not a rehabilitation project.
