Vt. Stat. tit. 10 § 231
Upon application of a local development corporation, the Authority may loan money to that local development corporation, upon such terms and conditions as it may prescribe, for the purpose of industrial park planning and development, for constructing or improving a speculative building or small business incubator facility on land owned or held under lease by the local development corporation, for purchase or improvement of existing buildings suitable for or which can be made suitable for industrial or small business incubation facility purposes and for the purchase of land in connection with any of the foregoing. Before the local development corporation receives such funds for such purposes from the Authority, it shall give to the Authority security for the repayment of the funds. The security shall be in such form and amounts as the Authority may determine and shall, in each instance, include a first mortgage on the land, or the leasehold, building, and appurtenances financed by such funds. Loans by the Authority to local development corporations for the construction of speculative buildings or improvements to those buildings shall be repaid in full, including interest and other charges, within 90 days after the building is occupied if the building is being sold, or within five years after the property is occupied if the building is being leased, or within such period of time deemed reasonable by the Authority. Loans by the Authority to local development corporations for the construction, purchase, or improvement of small business incubator facilities shall be repaid in full, including interest and other charges, within ten years after the property is occupied.
