52:27D-46. Legislative findings

The Legislature finds that there exist in many municipalities in this State blighted areas by reason of hazardous, unsafe, unsanitary, dilapidated or overcrowded conditions and other conditions constituting a serious and growing menace, injurious to the health, safety and welfare of the residents of the State, which conditions are more fully enumerated and specified in section 1 of chapter 187 of the laws of 1949, as amended by section 1 of chapter 248 of the laws of 1951. The Legislature further finds that the widespread character of blight, the difficulty of eliminating such conditions, the enormous cost thereof and the limited resources available for this purpose to the municipalities in which such conditions exist, render it essential that this State aid and assist such municipalities by making capital grants available to encourage municipalities to initiate urban renewal programs and to expand existing urban renewal programs.

L.1967, c. 80, s. 3, eff. May 31, 1967.
