§ 3205. Workable program
A municipality for the purposes of this chapter may formulate for the municipality
a workable program for utilizing appropriate private and public resources to eliminate
and prevent the development or spread of slums and urban blight, to encourage needed
urban rehabilitation, to provide for the redevelopment of slum and blighted areas,
or to undertake such of the aforesaid activities or other feasible municipal activities
as may be suitably employed to achieve the objectives of such workable program. Such
workable program may include provision for: the prevention of the spread of blight
into areas of the municipality which are free from blight through diligent enforcement
of housing, zoning, and occupancy controls and standards; the rehabilitation or conservation
of slum and blighted areas or portions thereof by re-planning, 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 the clearance and redevelopment of slum and blighted
areas or portions thereof.
