(b) to acquire, by purchase, lease or otherwise, any land and buildings necessary for its purpose and improve, beautify or dispose of that land and buildings;

(c) to promote the business improvement district as a business or shopping area;

(d) to undertake improvement and maintenance of any land for use as parking and may subsequently dispose of that land, by sale, lease, exchange or otherwise for public or private redevelopment for commercial purposes at a price not less than its fair market value; and
