section:

areas by restricting development, often through land acquisition, conservation 
easements, zoning controls, or economic incentives.

 (2) 
"Public incentive" means tax credits, deductions, exemptions, exclusions, fees

retain business operations, and other preferential tax benefits given to 
businesses for the purpose of enticing certain actions.

 (B) 
Any greenbelt project that receives public incentives to acquire land must make 
the acquired land accessible to the public within three years of acquisition. 
If the provisions of this subsection are violated, any public incentives 
awarded to the greenbelt project must be repaid, with interest, within 
twenty-four months of the violation.

by the Governor.
