“Condemnation” or “condemn” means the acquisition by the exercise of the power of eminent domain of property for any facilities, other property, project, or an interest therein, herein authorized. A municipality may exercise in the State the power of eminent domain, either within or without the municipality, and, in the manner provided by law for the condemnation of private property for public use, may take any property necessary to carry out any of the objects or purposes hereof, whether such property be already devoted to the same use by any corporate district or other public body, or otherwise, and may condemn any existing works or facilities in the municipality now or hereafter used. The power of eminent domain vested in the governing body shall include the power to condemn, in the name of the municipality, either the fee simple or any lesser estate or interest in any real property which the governing body by resolution shall determine is necessary for carrying out the purposes hereof. Such resolution shall be prima facie evidence that the taking of the fee simple or easement, as the case may be, is necessary.
