A State, Tribe, or local government may acquire an interest in an eligible site using a grant under this section in partnership with a nonprofit organization.
The non-Federal share of the total cost of acquiring an interest in an eligible site under this section shall be not less than 50 percent.
An interest in an eligible site acquired under this section, including by States, Tribes, local governments, and nonprofit organizations, shall be subject to section 200305(f)(3) of this title.
