The authority may issue notes, including renewal notes, for any purpose for which bonds may be issued, whenever the authority determines that payment thereof can be made in full from any revenues the authority expects to receive from any source. The notes may be issued to provide funds to pay preliminary costs of surveys, plans, development, or other matters relating to any proposed or existing project. The authority may pledge the revenues, subject to any other pledge thereof, for the payment of the notes, and may secure the notes in the same manner and with the same effect as herein provided for bonds and may also secure the notes by the personal guarantee of property owners within a benefited area. The authority may make contracts for the future sale of the notes, by which the purchaser shall be committed to purchase the notes on terms and conditions stated in such contracts. The authority may pay the consideration it deems proper for the commitments.
Subd. 3.Secondary market.
An authority may sell, at private or public sale, at the price or prices determined by the authority, any note, mortgage, lease, sublease, lease purchase, or other instrument or obligation evidencing or securing a loan made for the purpose of economic development, job creation, redevelopment, or community revitalization by a public agency to a business, for-profit or nonprofit organization, or an individual.
