or projects in a local development area:

(a) Any taxing authority may, in addition to any other pledge permitted by law to

secure its obligations, pledge up to one hundred percent (100%) of the

development area or from a project within the development area or local

development area for up to thirty (30) years from the activation date;

(b) The amount of incremental revenues shall be determined for each type of tax

separately; and

(c) Local tax revenues from a development area that have not been pledged to

support redevelopment assistance or projects within the development area, or

from a local development area that have not been pledged to support projects

within the local development area, may be used to su pport other economic

more than once. Thus, local tax revenues pledged to support increment bonds

established for cities under KRS 91A.200 to 91A.290 to support projects or the

area or a local development area may pledge revenues coll ected pursuant to the

occupational license fee permitted by KRS 65.7056.
