Sec. 8-135. Acceptance of funds. Financing. For the purpose of carrying out or
administering a redevelopment plan or other functions authorized under this chapter,
a municipality, acting by and through its redevelopment agency, may accept grants,
advances, loans or other financial assistance from the federal government, the state or
other source, and may do any and all things necessary or desirable to secure such financial
aid. To assist any redevelopment project located in the area in which it is authorized to
act, any public body, including the state, or any city, town, borough, authority, district,
subdivision or agency of the state, may, upon such terms as it determines, furnish service
or facilities, provide property, lend or contribute funds, and take any other action of a
character which it is authorized to perform for other purposes, to include entering into
a written agreement fixing the assessment of real estate to be used for a rental housing
project to be constructed in a redevelopment or urban renewal area, pursuant to section
12-65. To obtain funds for the temporary and definitive financing of any redevelopment
project, a municipality may, in addition to other action authorized under this chapter or
other law, levy taxes and issue and sell its temporary loan notes, bonds or other obligations. Such temporary loan notes shall be issued for a period of not more than three
years, but notes issued for a shorter period of time may be renewed by the issue of other
notes, provided the period from the date of the original notes to the maturity of the last
notes issued in renewal thereof shall not exceed three years, and the provisions of section
7-373 shall be deemed to apply thereto. Any such bonds or other obligations issued by
a municipality pursuant to this section shall be in accordance with such statutory and
other legal requirements as govern the issuance of obligations generally by the municipality.
