(2) At the public hearing the local taxing authorities, planning commission or redevelopment authority and other public and private agencies and individuals, knowledgeable and interested in the improvement of deteriorated areas, shall present their recommendations concerning the location of boundaries of a deteriorated area for the guidance of the municipal corporation. The recommendations shall take into account the criteria required to establish an impoverished area or blighted property.
(d) Adjacent property inclusions.--Property adjacent to a deteriorated area may be included within the deteriorated area if the local taxing authority determines that new construction on the property would encourage, enhance or accelerate improvement of the blighted properties within the deteriorated area.
(f) Rescinding blighted area designation.--A local taxing authority may rescind an ordinance or resolution adopted under subsection (a) if the local taxing authority determines that the tax exemption in the deteriorated area within the boundaries established under subsection (b) has accomplished the goal of revitalizing the deteriorated area. Property granted tax exemption within the boundaries of the deteriorated area prior to the ordinance or resolution being rescinded shall continue to receive the tax exemption granted until the tax exemption is terminated under section 5(b).1
