Agreements for payments in lieu of taxes To the end that municipalities and counties may not suffer undue loss of tax revenue by reason of the acquisition and ownership of property therein by the commission, the commission is hereby authorized, empowered and directed to enter into an agreement or agreements with any municipality or county, whereby said commission will undertake to pay a fair and reasonable sum or sums to compensate the said municipality or county for a loss of revenue in connection with any property acquired and owned by the commission in carrying out the provisions of this act. Any such payment or payments which the commission is hereby authorized, empowered and directed to make may be made on an annual basis, in which case the payment or payments shall not be less than the amount of taxes upon the property when last assessed prior to its acquisition by the commission. Every municipality and county wherein the property shall be acquired by the commission is hereby empowered to enter into such agreement or agreements with the commission to accept the payment or payments which the commission is herein authorized, empowered and directed to make.
