In making an award to the highest and best bidder as provided in section 7 of this chapter, the authority shall determine whether in its judgment the potential benefits to the state and its citizens of the economic development project as proposed by the bidder exceed the direct costs to the authority of acquiring the property and interests being offered for sale or lease for the economic development project less any sums to be paid by the successful bidder pursuant to its bid. The authority's judgment concerning this determination shall be based on the economic studies, analyses, and projections that the authority determines are reasonably necessary. The authority's determination is final and conclusive.
