In addition to the considerations under paragraph (3)(C), the Administrator, in determining to award a multi-purpose grant under the program under subparagraph (A), shall consider the extent to which the eligible entity demonstrates— an overall plan for revitalization of brownfield sites in the area in which the multi-purpose grant will be used; the capacity to conduct the range of eligible activities that will be funded by the multi-purpose grant; and that a multi-purpose grant is appropriate for meeting the needs of the area in which the grant will be used. Grants provided under the program established under subparagraph
(A)shall be expended not later than 3 years after the award of grant funding to the eligible entity, unless the Administrator determines that an extension of not more than 2 years is justified. A recipient of a grant under this paragraph may not use amounts from such grant on remediation of a brownfield site until such recipient owns such site.
