(1) Where the funds involved are to be used for the purchase, lease or alteration of
an existing facility which has been inoperative and the borrower or mortgagee intends
to make, assemble or produce products and or services comparable to those previously
made, assembled, or produced at such facility, preference shall be given to those previously employed at such facility within the twelve-month period immediately preceding its closing in the order of their total length of employment at the closed facility,
