6    obligations, separately or jointly, and expend revenues
7    received under the Act for eligible expenses anywhere

9    by transferring or loaning such revenues to a
10    redevelopment project area created under the Industrial
11    Jobs Recovery Law that is either contiguous to, or
12    separated only by a public right of way from the
13    redevelopment project area that initially produced and
14    received those revenues; and, if the redevelopment project
15    area (i) was established before the effective date of this
16    amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly and (ii) is
17    located within a municipality with a population of more
18    than 100,000, utilize revenues or proceeds of obligations
19    authorized by Section 11-74.4-7 of this Act, other than
20    use or occupation tax revenues, to pay for any
21    redevelopment project costs as defined by subsection (q)
22    of Section 11-74.4-3 to the extent that the redevelopment
23    project costs involve public property that is either
24    contiguous to, or separated only by a public right of way
25    from, a redevelopment project area whether or not
26    redevelopment project costs or the source of payment for

4    a redevelopment project area within 7 years after the area
5    was designated by ordinance under subsection (a), the
6    municipality shall adopt an ordinance repealing the area's
7    designation as a redevelopment project area; provided,
8    however, that if an area received its designation more
9    than 3 years before the effective date of this amendatory
10    Act of 1994 and no redevelopment project has been
11    initiated within 4 years after the effective date of this
12    amendatory Act of 1994, the municipality shall adopt an

14    project area. Initiation of a redevelopment project shall
15    be evidenced by either a signed redevelopment agreement or
16    expenditures on eligible redevelopment project costs
17    associated with a redevelopment project.
18        Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section to
19    the contrary, with respect to a redevelopment project area
20    designated by an ordinance that was adopted on July 29,
21    1998 by the City of Chicago, the City of Chicago shall
22    adopt an ordinance repealing the area's designation as a
23    redevelopment project area if no redevelopment project has
24    been initiated in the redevelopment project area within 15
25    years after the designation of the area. The City of
26    Chicago may retroactively repeal any ordinance adopted by
