 3 amended to read as follows:
 4 (a) Upon the consent of the local legislative body of any municipality
 5 in which a project is or is to be located, the real property in a

 7 assessments for local improvements, to the extent of all or part of the
 8 value of the property included in such project which represents an
 9 increase over the assessed valuation of the real property, both land and
 10 improvements, acquired for the project at the time of its acquisition by
 11 the limited-profit housing company, provided, however, that the real
 12 property in a project acquired for purposes of rehabilitation shall be
 13 exempt to the extent of all or part of the value of the property
 14 included in such project, and further provided that the amount of such
 15 taxes to be paid shall not be less than ten per centum of the annual
 16 shelter rent or carrying charges of such project except that for

 21 project with respect to the year nineteen hundred seventy-three, or,
 22 (ii) if such project was not occupied in such year, not less than ten
 23 per centum of the annual shelter rent or carrying charges first estab-

 3 consent of the local legislative body of a municipality, other than a
 4 city with a population of one million or more, in which the project is
 5 located, the amount of such taxes may be further reduced to zero per
 6 centum or less of the annual shelter rent or carrying charges of the
 7 project. Any such granted consent to reduce the amount of such taxes
