(a)Any grant for a completed school building project approved by the Commissioner of Administrative Services under the provisions of sections 10-282 and 10-286 shall include an amount equal to the percentage determined in section 10-285a of the site-acquisition costs related to such project which are determined to be eligible by the Commissioner of Administrative Services, provided the site of such project was approved by the Commissioner of Administrative Services and by the local board of education in such school district prior to the date of beginning of construction. Such site-acquisition grant shall be in addition to the amount granted pursuant to section 10-286 .
