(a) The governing body of a municipality by ordinance may abandon the use of property for a sea life park and oceanarium and sell or lease the property for any purpose the governing body determines is appropriate and in the interest of the residents of the municipality if:

(1) the property was partly or wholly financed under this subchapter;  and

(A) the sea life park and oceanarium is no longer economically feasible;  and

(b) The municipality must sell property under this section only to the highest and best bidder as required for other property sold by the municipality.
