Any county or municipality in which all or part of the rail corridor is located may enter into an agreement with the Authority providing for payments to be made by the county or municipality, as applicable, to the Authority. A county or municipality may not enter into an agreement to make payments to the Authority until after the Authority designates the rail corridor. Neither the county nor municipality's obligations under the agreement shall constitute a pledge of its faith and credit. The Authority has the power and authorization to enter into agreements with such local governments as provided in the Interlocal Cooperation Act, G.S. 160A-460 through G.S. 160A-466.
