KRS 82.115: Contract of inducement.

A city may in the discretion of its governing body enter into contracts of inducement with

governmental agencies, and pursuant thereto may make a conveyance or lease of, or grant

an option to acquire or lease, such lands, with or without site improvements, utility

services, buildings, structures or other improvements, upon such terms and conditions as

in the discretion of the governing body of the city may appear to be in the best interests of

the public health, safety or general welfare of the citizens and inhabitants of the city. In its

exercise of such discretion the governing body of the city may ascertain and declare as a

legislative determination of fact, by ordinance duly adopted and made effective according

to law, that by reason of immediate benefits to the city or to its citizens and inhabitants, or

by reason of ultimate benefits reasonably to be anticipated in the way of relieving the city

of public welfare obligations, facilitating proper municipal planning, increasing

opportunities for gainful em ployment, increasing sources of tax or other revenues, or

otherwise, a contract of inducement shall be made with a governmental agency in the

public interests without concurrent tangible consideration in terms of cash or property,

and solely or partly in anticipation of such prospective public benefits.
