In the exercise of such power, the municipality may make any improved or unimproved development property available for use by a governmental unit or sponsor in accordance with the purposes of this chapter at its use value, being the value, whether expressed in terms of rental or capital price, at which the municipality determines such property should be made available in order that it may be developed or used for the purposes of this chapter.
