(2) the applicant is able to demonstrate the program expertise required to operate such center in compliance with this subchapter, whether or not the applicant is receiving a grant under this part; and
(3) the applicant has consulted with and obtained the approval of the chief executive officer of the unit of local government in which the facility is located.
(1) Each facility made available under this section shall be made available for a period of not less than 2 years, and no rent or fee shall be charged to the applicant in connection with use of such facility.
(2) Any structural modifications or additions to facilities made available under this section shall become the property of the United States.
