Current as of March 28, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(a) An authority shall not initiate any redevelopment project under this subchapter until the governing body or agency designated by it or empowered by law so to act of each city or town, i.e., “municipalities,” in which any of the area to be covered by the project is situated, has approved a plan, to be called the “redevelopment plan,” which provides an outline for the development or redevelopment of the area and is sufficiently complete to indicate:

(1) Its relationship to definite local objectives as to appropriate land uses and improved traffic, public transportation, public utilities, recreational and community facilities, and other public improvements;

(2) Proposed land uses and building requirements in the area; and

(3) The method for the temporary relocation of persons living in such areas; and also the method for providing, unless already available, decent, safe, and sanitary dwellings substantially equal in number to the number of substandard dwellings to be cleared from the area, at rents within the financial reach of the income groups displaced from the substandard dwellings.

(b) Municipalities are authorized to approve redevelopment plans through their governing body or agency designated by it for that purpose.

(c) Any state public body, as defined in § 14-169-203, shall have the same rights and powers to cooperate with and assist housing authorities with respect to redevelopment projects that such state public body has pursuant to the Housing Authorities Act, §§ 14-169-201 -- 14-169-205, 14-169-207 -- 14-169-225, 14-169-227, 14-169-229 -- 14-169-240, and 14-169-804, for the purpose of assisting the development or administration of slum clearance and housing projects in the same manner as though the provisions of the Housing Authorities Act were applicable to redevelopment projects undertaken under this subchapter.
