(2) Findings and declaration of necessity. It is found and declared
15that there have existed and continue to exist in cities within the
state, substandard,
16insanitary, deteriorated, slum and blighted areas which constitute a serious and
17growing menace, injurious and inimical to the public health, safety, morals and
18welfare of the residents of the state. The existence of these areas contributes
19substantially and increasingly to the spread of disease and crime (necessitating
20excessive and disproportionate expenditures of public funds for the preservation of
21the public health and safety, for crime prevention, correction, prosecution,
22punishment, and the treatment of juvenile delinquency and for the maintenance of
23adequate police, fire and accident protection, and other public services and facilities),
24constitutes an economic and social liability, substantially impairs or arrests the
25sound growth of cities, and retards the provision of housing accommodations. This
1menace is beyond remedy and control solely by regulatory process in the exercise of
2the police power and cannot be dealt with effectively by the ordinary operations of
3private enterprise without the aids provided in this section. The acquisition of
4property for the purpose of eliminating
substandard, insanitary, deteriorated, slum
5or blighted
conditions or preventing recurrence of these conditions in the area, the
6removal of structures and improvement of sites areas, the disposition of the property
7for redevelopment incidental to
these activities
this activity, and any assistance
8which may be given by cities or any other public bodies, are public uses and purposes
9for which public money may be expended and the power of eminent domain
10exercised. The necessity in the public interest for the provisions of this section is
11declared as a matter of legislative determination.
