§ 40-58-04. Workable program

A municipality for the purposes of this chapter may formulate a workable program for utilizing appropriate private and public resources, including those specified in section 40-58-18, to facilitate the development of industrial or commercial properties, eliminate and prevent the development or spread of slums and urban blight, encourage needed urban rehabilitation, provide for the redevelopment of slum and blighted areas, or undertake these activities or other feasible municipal activities as may be suitably employed to achieve the objectives of the workable program.

The rehabilitation or conservation of slum and blighted areas or portions of those areas 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; and 4. The clearance and redevelopment of slum areas or portions of those areas.
