An Act to amend and reenact § 38-186.1 of the Code of Virginia (which

to industrial sites.

[H 583]

Approved March 31, 1962

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 33-136.1 of the Code of Virginia (which was enacted as
Chapter 161 of the Acts of Assembly, 1956, approved February 27, 1956),
be amended and reenacted, as follows:

§ 33-136.1. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, from
the funds available to the State Highway Commission derived from taxes
on motor fuels, fees and charges on motor vehicle registrations, road taxes
or any other State revenue allocated for highway purposes, and after the
costs of administration but before any of such funds are distributed and
allocated for any road or street purposes, the Commission shall initially
set aside * one million five hundred thousand dollars.

This fund shall be expended by the Commission for constructing,
reconstructing, maintaining or improving access roads to industrial sites
on which manufacturing, processing or other establishments will be built
under firm contract or are already constructed. At the close of each suc-
ceeding fiscal year the Commission shall replenish this fund to the extent
it deems necessary to carry out the purpose intended provided the balance
in the fund plus the replenishment does not exceed the aforesaid * one
million five hundred thousand dollars. *

(b) In deciding whether or not to construct or improve any such
access road, and in determining the nature of the road to be constructed,
the Commission shall base its considerations on the cost thereof in rela-
sion to the volume and nature of the traffic to be generated as a result
of developing the industrial establishment. No such access road shall b
constructed or improved on a privately owned plant site.

(c) Any access road constructed or improved under this section shal
constitute a part of the secondary system of State highways and shal
thereafter be constructed, reconstructed, maintained and improved as othe
roads in such secondary system.
