(a) The authority is authorized to take possession under a lease or a deed or other instrument granting use or easement property in Baldwin County, Alabama within the Blakeley national register site which is now owned by the Historic Blakeley Foundation or others. The authority is further authorized to lease, purchase, accept as a gift or loan or otherwise acquire any other property, real or personal, including gifts or bequests of money or other things of value to be used in fulfilling the purpose for which it is established or for any auxiliary purpose incidental or appropriate thereto.

(b) The authority is also authorized to borrow money and issue revenue bonds in evidence thereof, but no such bonds shall be general obligations of the State of Alabama or any agency or any political subdivision thereof nor shall such authority pledge to the payment of any such loans the land. It may, however, pledge to the repayment thereof buildings, exhibits, utilities, docks, roads, walks or other appurtenances; or improvements made by the authority and it may pledge to the repayment thereof the proceeds derived from admission fees or charges or other fees or charges made in connection with such park or historical site.
