In order to carry out the purposes of this chapter, and to utilize private enterprise to a maximum degree consistent with the public interest, a corporation may by a two-thirds vote of the board of directors enter into a contract with a private development corporation to provide services to the corporation.
The private development corporation with which the corporation contracts shall have experience in land use planning and land development and shall have the capability of planning, undertaking and carrying out large scale, multi-purpose urban development programs. Any such contract shall be on such terms and conditions as the corporation deems advisable, shall contain a cancellation clause allowing the corporation and the private development corporation to cancel on such terms and conditions as are equitable at any time upon six months notice, shall not be subject to the requirements of public or competitive bidding, and may contain such incentives as the corporation deems appropriate.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any statute or law, affiliates of a community development management are not for that reason prohibited from being chosen as the developer of a new community project or any portion thereof.
