(2)  Subject to availability of funds, applicants shall be eligible for not less than 50% of the base funding level noted in sub. (1) except as provided in sub. (3) .

(7)  A grantee's local match is the difference between the total cost for the comprehensive plan development and the grant provided under this chapter.
