Housing and Urban Development, or any other federal agency
authorized to make loans for works of improvement for a long term or
short term loan to cover the following:
(1) Expenses of establishing the district.

construction, maintenance, and operation of the works of
improvement that have been authorized by the approval of the
district plan.
(5) Refinancing a loan whose proceeds have been used for any of
the purposes described in this subsection.
(b) A loan under this section:
(1) may be evidenced by one (1) installment note or by a series of
notes; and
(2) may be secured by:
(A) revenues; or
(B) the collection of the special benefits tax levied on the real
property in the district.
If a loan is secured by a pledge of collection of the tax, the loan
may be paid in whole or in part by revenues or the collection of
assessments.
(c) If the board decides not to evidence the financing with a federal
agency by an installment note or series of notes and instead prepares a
bond issue, the bond issue may, in whole or in part, be offered for sale
to the federal agency without:
(1) a public offering; or
(2) the securing of competitive bids on the bond offering.
(d) Repayment of a loan begins at the time upon which the board
and the federal agency agree. The:
(1) amount of interest;
(2) time of making payments of interest; and
(3) interval at which interest must be paid;
are subject to the agreement of the parties.
