§16-15-19. Power to issue bonds; how bonds secured.

An authority shall have power to issue bonds from time to time, in its discretion, for any of its corporate purposes. An authority shall also have power to issue or exchange refunding bonds for the purpose of paying, retiring, extending or renewing bonds previously issued by it. An authority may issue such types of bonds as it may determine, including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, bonds on which the principal and interest are payable from income and revenues of the authority and from grants or contributions from the federal government or other source. Such income and revenues securing the bonds may be: Exclusively the income and revenues of the housing developments financed, in whole or in part, with the proceeds of such bonds; exclusively the income and revenues of certain designated housing developments, whether or not they are financed, in whole or in part, with the proceeds of such bonds; or the income and revenues of the authority generally. Any such bonds may be additionally secured by a pledge of any income or revenues of the authority, or a mortgage of any housing development, developments or other property of the authority.
