     4  read as follows:
     5    Locate,  identify  and assess sites within the state that appear suit-
     6  able for the development of build-ready sites with a priority  given  to
     7  previously developed sites, provided that viable agricultural land shall
     8  not  be  deemed suitable for the development of a build-ready site. Such
     9  assessment may include but need not be limited to the following  consid-
    10  erations:
    11    (b)  In  making  such  assessment the authority shall give priority to

    14  or industrial sites, dormant electric  generating  sites,  or  otherwise
    15  underutilized  sites,  provided  that  the  authority shall not deem any
