§ 5124. Workable Program.

The government of Guam, for the purposes of this Article, may

formulate for the territory of Guam, as a whole, and for each community

and locality in Guam workable programs for utilizing appropriate public

spread of, slums and urban blight, to encourage needed urban

rehabilitation, to provide for the redevelopment of slum and blighted

areas, or to undertake such of the aforesaid activities or other feasible

or portions thereof by replanning, removing congestion, providing

parks, playgrounds and other public improvements, by encouraging

voluntary rehabilitation and by compelling the repair and

rehabilitation of deteriorated or deteriorating structures;

(c) the clearance and redevelopment of slum and blighted areas

or portions thereof; and

(d) the provision of safe, decent and sanitary housing, by

private or public effort, or a combination of both.
