AI Summary

  • Authorizes Troup County, Georgia, to exercise all redevelopment powers under the state's "Redevelopment Powers Law" (Chapter 44 of Title 36, O.C.G.A.), including community redevelopment, creation of tax allocation districts, issuance of tax allocation bonds, and incurring related obligations.
  • Requires a referendum during the 2010 statewide general primary election, where Troup County voters must approve or reject the authorization by majority vote.
  • The election superintendent must publish notice of the referendum once a week for two weeks preceding the election in the official organ of Troup County, with election expenses borne by the county.
  • If fewer than half of votes cast approve the Act, or if the election is not conducted as required, Section 1 (the redevelopment authorization) automatically repeals on January 1 following the election date.
  • The Act becomes effective upon the Governor's approval, but the substantive redevelopment powers take effect only upon voter approval in the referendum.
