(2)  Invest $500 million in an economic development project
within three years of receiving bonds or credits from the
Missouri Development Finance Board through the Business Use
Incentive for Large-Scale Development (BUILD) Program for
large-scale economic development projects;

(3)  Have maintained at least 2,000 jobs at the proposed project
site for a period of four years prior to applying for
participation in the BUILD Program; and

(4)  Maintain the same level of employment at the site for as
long as it participates in the BUILD Program.
