Section 205:3 Authority. - New Hampshire Statutes

In undertaking such redevelopment projects a housing authority shall have all the rights, powers, privileges and immunities that such authority has under the housing authorities law, RSA 203, and any other provision of law relating to slum clearance and housing projects for persons of low income (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the power to make and execute contracts, to issue bonds and other obligations and give security therefor, to acquire real property by eminent domain or purchase, and to do any and all things necessary to carry out projects, except that the power to acquire real property by eminent domain shall be limited as set forth in RSA 205:3-a) in the same manner as though all the provisions of law applicable to slum clearance and housing projects were applicable to redevelopment projects undertaken under this chapter; provided that nothing contained in RSA 203:9 and 10 shall be construed as limiting the power of an authority, in the event of a default by a purchaser or lessee of land in a redevelopment plan, to acquire real property and operate it free from the restrictions contained in said sections.
