*COMAR 24.05.01.09*

A. Upon application, the Secretary may permit redesignation of all or a portion of a designated enterprise zone.

B. Application Procedure.

  (1) To apply for redesignation, the appropriate political subdivision shall file a complete application showing that the proposed zone meets all the requirements for a new zone.

  (2) A redesignation application shall also include the following information:

    (a) An evaluation of the history and benefits of the existing zone;

    (b) An explanation of why portions of the existing enterprise zones are included in the redesignation request; and

    (c) A comparison of the economic development strategy for the redesignation application with that of the existing zone.

C. A political subdivision may request redesignation of all or a portion of the designated zone before the end of the 10-year designation period. The new 10-year designation period shall, however, begin immediately upon the redesignation by the Secretary, within 60 days following the submission date, rather than at the end of the original 10-year term.
