     § 1519.  Retroactive authority.
        (a)  Date of project.--Financial assistance may be awarded
     under this chapter by the department with reference to an
     appropriate project irrespective of when it was first commenced
     or considered and regardless of whether costs with respect to
     the project were incurred prior to the time the financial
     assistance is applied for or provided.
        (b)  Capital projects.--
            (1)  For capital projects, the applicant must obtain
        written approval from the department prior to incurring any
        expenses for which the applicant may later seek
        reimbursement.
            (2)  Notwithstanding paragraph (1), approval by the
        department shall not constitute an approval of the
        applicant's underlying request for financial assistance.
            (3)  By providing preapproval under this subsection, the
        department may recognize any local funds already expended as
        satisfying the local match requirement if and when the
        applicant's application is approved.
