126 - Condemnation of excess property.

§  126.  Condemnation  of  excess  property.    A  municipality  or an  authority may take private property by condemnation for the  purpose  of  providing  low  rent  housing  for  families  of  low income, or for the  clearance, replanning, reconstruction and rehabilitation  of  areas,  or  for  both  of  such  purposes, and for recreational and other facilities  incidental or appurtenant thereto, but in excess of  that  required  for  public  use  after  such  purposes  shall  have  been  accomplished.  An  authority or municipality may improve and utilize such  excess  property  wholly or partly for any other public purpose, or may lease or sell such  excess property with restrictions to preserve and protect the project or  projects.  Proceedings to acquire such excess property may be brought by  the authority or municipality  in  the  same  manner  as  for  the  real  property required for the project and may be included in the proceedings  for the acquisition of real property required for the project.
