Illinois Statutes Chapter 65. Municipalities § 5/11-45.1-2. Acquisition of property

§ 11-45.1-2. For the purpose of establishing such cultural centers, the corporate authorities may acquire all necessary real and personal property by purchase, lease, gift or eminent domain. They may lease portions of a cultural center to any not-for-profit organization engaged in activities within the purview of cultural centers established under this division. The terms and periods of such lease shall be those deemed appropriate by the corporate authorities, provided that no lease may exceed 5 years. The corporate authorities may also lease up to 25% of the floor area of any cultural center to persons, organizations or corporations engaged in noncultural activities, for the purpose of rendering auxiliary services, such as food dispensing, automobile parking, sale of books, records or publications, and other necessary activities convenient for the use of the cultural centers by the public.
