HRS §53-27

Limits on profits paid to project investors

This section sets a yearly limit on the interest and dividends a redevelopment corporation can pay to its investors from project earnings. If a year's payment falls short, the missing amount must be paid from later earnings. Any extra cash left when the corporation ends goes to the county's redevelopment fund.
