             268          (II) not within but still a benefit to a project area; or
             269          (III) within a project area in which substantially all of the land is publicly owned and a
             270      benefit to the community; or
             271          (ii) (A) the additional tax increment is used to pay some or all of the cost of the land
             272      for and installation and construction of a recreational facility, as defined in Section 59-12-702 ,

             285      increment received under Subsection (2) for any of the uses indicated in Subsection (3).
