§ 279.424. Declaration of state policy: Redevelopment of blighted areas by eminent domain; public use; necessity

It is declared to be the policy of the State: 1. To protect and promote the sound development and redevelopment of blighted areas

and the general welfare of the inhabitants of the communities in which they exist

by remedying such injurious conditions through the employment of all appropriate means. 2. That whenever the redevelopment of blighted areas cannot be accomplished by private

enterprise alone, without public participation and assistance in the acquisition of

land, in planning and in the financing of land assembly, in the work of clearance,

and in the making of improvements necessary therefor, it is in the public interest

to employ the power of eminent domain, to advance or expend public funds for these

purposes, and to provide a means by which blighted areas may be redeveloped or rehabilitated. 3. That the redevelopment of blighted areas and the provision for appropriate continuing

land use and construction policies in them constitute public uses and purposes for

which public money may be advanced or expended and private property acquired, and

are governmental functions of state concern in the interests of health, safety and

welfare of the people of the State and of the communities in which the areas exist. 4. That the necessity in the public interest for the provisions of this chapter is

declared to be a matter of legislative determination.
