Section 45-33.2-3.1 and §§ 45-33.2-22 through 45-33.2-28 shall be construed to provide a complete, additional, and alternative method for performing the things authorized by this chapter, and shall be regarded as supplemental and in addition to the powers conferred by other laws, including §§ 45-33.2-2 through 45-33.2-21. Cities and towns which have created tax increments in accordance with §§ 45-33.2-2 through 45-33.2-21 may elect to use the provisions of § 45-33.2-3.1 and §§ 45-33.2-22 through 45-33.2-28 by adopting an ordinance of the city or town council:
