(3) Cities and counties within multiple contiguous counties (A) In general A city that is within an eligible county described in paragraph (1), or a group of counties that is within a group of counties determined to be an eligible county under paragraph (2), shall be eligible to receive a grant under section 3401 if such city or county or group of counties meets the requirements of subparagraph (B).
