(c)
After such sixty-day period and if the ordinance levying the assessment so provides, all unpaid installments of assessments levied against any piece of property, but only in their entirety, may be paid prior to the dates on which they become due, but any such prepayment must include an additional amount equal to the interest that would accrue on the assessment to the next succeeding date on which interest is payable on any special improvement bonds issued in anticipation of the collection of the assessment, plus such additional amount as, in the opinion of the governing body of the municipality, is necessary to assure the availability of money to pay interest on the special improvement bonds as interest becomes due, and any premiums that may become payable on redeemable bonds that may be called in order to utilize the assessment thus paid in advance.
(d)
The municipality may allow, in its discretion, discounts for prepayment of assessments, or installments of assessments; provided, that such discounts do not impair the ability of the municipality fully to fund the bonds issued in pursuance of the authority granted by this chapter.

Assessments shall be made by the board of assessment commissioners prior to the acquisition of an improvement or commencement of the construction of an improvement described in the ordinance organizing the central business improvement district or upon the completion of the improvements, at the discretion of the board of assessment commissioners. In the event, however, that such assessments prove ultimately to be in excess of the total cost, the surplus of assessments may be rebated to the owners of the property assessed. The amount to be rebated to each property owner shall be the proportion of the total rebate that the amount of the property owner's assessment bears to the total amount of all assessments originally levied. The rebate may be applied as a prepayment of any unpaid amount of the assessment and any balance shall be paid to the owner at the time the rebate is made of the property assessed. In the event that the totality of the assessment ultimately proves to be less than the total cost of all the improvements in the central business improvement district, the municipality shall be authorized to increase the assessment on each property by an amount equal to the percentage that the original assessment on each property bears to the total assessment, multiplied by the total additional assessment required of the district.

Municipalities should be encouraged to create self-financing central business improvement districts and designate district management corporations to execute self-help programs to enhance their local business climates; and

(a)
It is hereby determined and declared that the deterioration of inner-city areas within certain municipalities of the state is a threat to the property tax and other revenue sources of such municipalities and is detrimental to the safety, health, morals and general economic welfare of the communities in which they are located; that the elimination of urban blight and decay and the modernization and general improvement of such inner-city areas by governmental action is considered necessary to promote the public health, safety and welfare of such communities; and that restoration of such inner-city areas is an appropriate subject for remedial legislation.
(b)
The general assembly further finds that:
(1)
Municipalities should be encouraged to create self-financing inner-city redevelopment districts and designate district management corporations to execute self-help programs to enhance their local business climates; and
(2)
Municipalities should be given the broadest possible discretion in establishing self-help programs most consistent with their local needs, goals and objectives.
