  municipality may enter into  a  contract  for  the  undertaking  by  the
  municipality  of  a  municipal  historic preservation project. Municipal
  historic preservation projects shall be recommended to the  commissioner

  wide  a  range  of  projects  as  possible, the commissioner may, in his
  discretion, limit the dollar amount that may be made available  for  any
  project.  For  the purpose of determining the amount of the state share,
  the cost of the project shall not be more than the amount set  forth  in
  the application for a state share made by a municipality and approved by
  the commissioner. The state share of the cost of a project shall be paid

  historic preservation project. A  not-for-profit  historic  preservation
  project  shall  be recommended to the commissioner by the governing body
  of a not-for-profit corporation which demonstrates to  the  satisfaction
  of the commissioner that it is capable of operating and maintaining such
  property   for   the  benefit  of  the  public.  Upon  approval  by  the
  commissioner, such project may be undertaken pursuant to the  provisions
  of this title and any other applicable provision of law. The state share

  assistance, received or to be received for such project. To  assure  the
  availability  of  funds for as wide a range of projects as possible, the
  commissioner may, in his discretion, limit the dollar amount that may be
  made available for any project.  For  the  purpose  of  determining  the
  amount  of  the  state  share, the cost of the project shall not be more
  than the amount set forth in the application for a state share made by a

  the state comptroller on certificate of availability of the director  of
  the budget.

  exceed fifty percent of the approved  project  cost,  less  any  federal
  assistance  received  or  to  be received for the project. To assure the
  availability of funds for as wide a range of projects as  possible,  the
  commissioner may, in his discretion, limit the dollar amount that may be
  made  available  for  any  project.  For  the purpose of determining the
  amount of the state share, the cost of the project  shall  not  be  more

  than the amount set forth in the application for a state share made by a
  municipality  and  approved  by the commissioner. The state share of the
  cost of a project shall be paid  on  audit  and  warrant  of  the  state
  comptroller  on  certificate  of  availability  of  the  director of the
  budget.
