(a)To the greatest extent feasible, opportunities for training and employment arising from any contract for work to be performed in connection with any redevelopment project shall be given to the lower income residents of the project area.

(b)An agency with a resident population of less than 1,000 persons in its territorial jurisdiction, and with a secured assessed valuation of not more than thirty million dollars ($30,000,000) as shown on the 1978–79 assessment roll, may, by contract, obligate lessees and purchasers of real property acquired in a redevelopment project and owners of property improved as part of a redevelopment project to give preference to training and employment, in businesses to be conducted on the property, to residents of the project area upon such terms and conditions as may be mutually agreed upon.
