Any ordinance adopted that establishes an economic development project area shall contain the boundaries of the area by legal description and, where possible, by street location. Any ordinance adopted that authorizes tax increment allocation financing shall provide that the ad valorem taxes, if any, arising from the levies upon taxable real property in the economic development project area by taxing districts and tax rates determined in the manner provided in subsection (b) of Section 45 each year after the effective date of the ordinance until economic development project costs and all county obligations financing economic development project costs incurred under this Act have been paid shall be divided as follows:

(b) In adopting an ordinance or ordinances under this Section, the county shall consider (i) whether, without public intervention, the economic development project area would not otherwise benefit from private investment offering substantial employment opportunities and economic growth and (ii) the impact on the revenues of the affected taxing districts of the use of tax increment allocation financing for the proposed economic development project.
