(70 ILCS 1835/5.1) (from Ch. 19, par. 705.1)
Sec. 5.1.
To make an investigation of conditions within the Port District and to
prepare and adopt a comprehensive plan for the development of port
facilities for the Port District. In preparing and recommending changes and
modifications in existing harbor facilities, or a comprehensive plan for
the development of such port facilities, the Port District if it deems
desirable may set aside and allocate an area or areas, within the lands
owned by it, to be leased to private parties for industrial, manufacturing,
commercial, or harbor purposes, where such area or areas in the opinion of
the Board, are not required for primary purposes in the development of
harbor and port facilities for the use of public water and land
transportation, or will not be needed immediately for such purposes, and
where such leasing in the opinion of the Board will aid and promote the
development of terminal and port facilities.
