The bonds may be secured by and be payable from all or a portion of the division of ad valorem taxes in the district provided for in (d) below. The bonds shall not be considered in calculating debt limits for bonds issued pursuant to Article XII, Section 4, of the Arkansas Constitution and shall not be subject to the provisions of Article XVI, Section 1 of the Arkansas Constitution or Amendments 62 or 65 to the Arkansas Constitution. (c) For purposes of this section, the term “redevelopment project” means an undertaking for eliminating, or preventing the development or spread of, slums or blighted, deteriorated, or deteriorating areas, for discouraging the loss of commerce, industry, or employment, or for increasing employment, or any combination thereof, as may be defined by the General Assembly.
