Section 11-54-122 - Additional powers of industrial development boards; powers with respect to ancillary facilities.

In addition to all other powers at any time conferred on it by law, each industrial development board shall have the following powers:

(1) To acquire, whether by construction, purchase, exchange, gift, lease, or otherwise, and to enlarge, improve, replace, equip, and maintain, one or more ancillary facilities, including all real and personal properties deemed necessary or desirable in connection therewith, and to sell and issue its bonds for any of such purposes;

(2) To lease to others and otherwise dispose of all or any portion of any ancillary facility, provided that an industrial development board may operate and use any ancillary facility, or any part thereof, intended for its own use; and

(3) To exercise with respect to any ancillary facility, and each part thereof, any and all powers that are conferred on industrial development boards by the Industrial Development Board Act.

Each industrial development board shall have with respect to ancillary facilities all powers that are conferred on such boards by the Industrial Development Board Act with respect to other projects; all applicable provisions of the Industrial Development Board Act shall apply to the exercise by an industrial development board of the powers conferred on it by this division; and all other provisions of the Industrial Development Board Act with which this division is not in conflict shall be applicable to the exercise by an industrial development board of its powers under this division, all to the same extent as if the said provisions of the Industrial Development Board Act were set out in full herein; provided, however, that any bonds issued by an industrial development board in connection with any ancillary facility intended, in whole or in part, for its own use and operation need not be payable solely out of the revenues and receipts derived from the leasing or sale of such facility but shall be payable solely out of such revenues and receipts as may be designated in the proceedings of the board of directors of such industrial development board under which such bonds shall be authorized to be issued.
