(b1 The Project would further the purposes stated in , Section 474 . O1. of the �Act. � Cc). The existence of the Project would add to the tax , base of the City and of the County and- School District in which ' the P.roject is located and would provide increased opportunities • for employment for residents of the City and surrounding area. • (d� This Council has been advised that conventional, � commercial financing to pay the cost of the Project is available only on a limited basis and at such high costs of borrowing that the �economic feasibility of operating the Project would be sig- nificantly reduced, but that with the aid of municipal borrowing, and its resulting lower borrowing cost, the Project is economi- cally more feasible. . �e) � This Council has also been advised by Mr.' Delaney that on the basis of his discussions with potential buyers of , tax-exempt Notes, the Notes could be issued and sold upon favor- able rates and terms to finance the Project. , � �fk The City is authorized by the Act to issue the Notes to finance capital p�ojects consisting of properties used : and useful in connection with a revenue producing enterprise. , SECTION 2 .
