Regional corporations shall not provide assistance for the following projects:

(1) when a business is relocating within a municipality with a population of at least one million, where the governing body of such municipality approves such relocation; or

(b) projects of newspapers, broadcasting or other news media, medical facilities, libraries, community or civic centers, or public infrastructure improvements;

For the purposes of this subdivision, a substantial reduction of operations in the State shall mean:
(1) the loss by an eligible business of 25 or more permanent jobs; or
(2) the loss by an eligible business of fewer than 25 permanent jobs, if such a loss would have a major adverse impact on the community in which the business is located;
(d) providing funds, directly or indirectly, for payment, distribution, or as a loan, to owners, partners or shareholders of an applicant, except as ordinary income for services rendered;
(e) retail projects, except where the regional corporation finds there will be an increase in net new permanent jobs; and
(f) to the extent permitted by law, projects in which:
(1) a full-time employee of the State, or any agency, department, authority, public benefit corporation or political subdivision thereof, would receive financial assistance from a regional corporation; or
