A. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the law to the contrary and as a grant of power in addition to any authority contained elsewhere in the laws of Louisiana, a local governmental subdivision is empowered and authorized to create, develop, and finance, or assist in the creation, development, and financing of industrial park projects, as more specifically hereinafter provided, in order to promote industrial development in such local governmental subdivision.
B. To carry out and implement the authority granted by Subsection A of this Section, a local governmental subdivision is authorized to enter into financing agreements with developers, pursuant to which developers agree to develop, within the local governmental subdivision, land for industrial parks and to provide water, sewer, drainage, street, and similar facilities, and transportation, power, and underground cable communication facilities and other facilities incidental to the use of such land as industrial sites, or any one or more of the foregoing, and the local governmental subdivision in consideration thereof undertakes to issue revenue bonds as hereinafter provided payable solely from payments to be made by such developers and to make the proceeds of such bonds available to reimburse the developers for the project costs. The financing agreements shall contain such terms and conditions as may be deemed advisable by the governing authority of the local governmental subdivision to carry out the purposes contemplated by this Subpart. If, pursuant to a financing agreement, a developer agrees to construct, or cause to be constructed, water, sewerage, drainage, street and similar facilities, or transportation, power or underground cable communication facilities or any other functionally related facilities, or any one or more of the foregoing, and to use to pay the costs thereof his own resources or funds and/or the proceeds of revenue bonds to be made available to the developer, the payment of the principal of and interest on which he is obligated to pay pursuant to the financing agreement or a separate guaranty agreement, then the provisions of Part II of Chapter 10 of Title 38 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950 shall not be applicable.
