§  862.  Restrictions  on  funds of the agency. No funds of the agency  shall be used in respect of any project if the completion thereof  would  result  in  the  removal  of an industrial or manufacturing plant of the  project occupant from one area of the state to another area of the state  or in the abandonment of one or more plants or facilities of the project  occupant located within  the  state,  provided,  however,  that  neither  restriction  shall  apply  if the agency shall determine on the basis of  the application before it that the project is  reasonably  necessary  to  discourage  the  project  occupant  from  removing  such  other plant or  facility to a location outside the state or is reasonably  necessary  to  preserve  the  competitive  position  of  the  project  occupant  in its  respective industry.
