New Jersey § 52:9q-24

§ 52:9q-24.

a. If, in order to implement any of the goals and objectives set forth in the plan,

the corporation shall find it necessary or convenient to acquire any real property

within its jurisdiction, or if for any of its authorized purposes the corporation

shall find it necessary to acquire any real property beyond its jurisdiction, whether

for immediate or future use, the corporation may find and determine that such property,

whether a fee simple absolute or a lesser interest, is required for public use, and,

upon such determination, the property shall be deemed to be required for a public

use until otherwise determined by the corporation; and the determination shall not

be affected by the fact that the property has heretofore been taken for, or is then

devoted to, a public use of the State or any municipality, county, school district,

or other local or regional district, authority or agency, but the public use in the

hands or under the control of the corporation shall be deemed superior. b. If the corporation is unable to agree with the owner or owners thereof upon terms

for the acquisition of any real property, for any reason whatsoever, then the corporation

may acquire that property, whether a fee simple absolute or a lesser interest, in

the manner provided in the “Eminent Domain Act of 1971,” P.L.1971, c. 361 ( C.20:3-1 et seq. ). c. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections a. and b. of this section, the corporation

shall not acquire or exercise control over any property in the custody of the State

House Commission pursuant to R.S.52:20-1 et seq. without the written consent of that commission. d. For the purposes of any State surplus property located within the district, the

corporation is authorized to act as the redevelopment entity on behalf of the State

as provided in section 4 of P.L.1992, c. 79 ( C.40A:12A-4 ) pursuant to a memorandum of understanding with the State Treasurer.
