A. The authority may, in the implementation of a redevelopment plan, create one or more subdistricts to conduct, oversee, or assist in the implementation of such redevelopment plan. The boundaries of such a subdistrict may include all or part of the redevelopment area. Such a subdistrict shall have and exercise such powers and responsibilities as the authority shall specify in the enabling resolution. The full extent of such powers and responsibilities may include such powers as the authority itself may exercise, and such other powers as are given to the subdistrict by this Subsection or any other law, but any exercise of such powers by the subdistrict shall be confined solely to the geographical limits of the subdistrict. Such a subdistrict may be established to exist at the pleasure of the authority, or for any period of time, or until the happening of any occurrence or occurrences, that the authority may specify.

B. The creation of a subdistrict shall in no instance result in the detachment, severance, or loss of any power or responsibility granted to the authority by this Chapter, and within the confines of any subdistrict, the authority shall have full jurisdiction, concurrent with that of the subdistrict, to exercise said powers and responsibilities. The fact that a certain power is expressed or implied in this Subsection as pertinent to a subdistrict's conduct, overseeing, or assistance in the implementation of the redevelopment plan shall not suggest or imply that such power is otherwise denied to the authority. However, the authority and its subdistricts shall not, collectively, have any greater power to tax than that granted, in the first instance, to the authority alone.

C. Unless otherwise specified in the resolution or other formal act creating the subdistrict, the board members of the authority shall constitute the governing authority of the subdistrict.
