80.150 Condemnation authorized -- Procedure.
If it becomes necessary to condemn property for the purpose of constructing any
housing that an authority may be permitted to acquire, establish, and operate under
KRS 80.020(1), or securing rights of way leading thereto, the authority may, by
resolution reciting the need, order the condemnation of any land or improvement or
interest in land, that it deems necessary. Proceedings for the condemnation shall be
in the Circuit Court of the county in which the property lies, and shall be conducted in
the name of the authority. The city attorney shall conduct the proceedings for the
authority. The judgment of the court shall vest title in fee simple to the property
condemned in the authority. In all other respects the form and manner of the
proceedings shall be the same as that provided in the Eminent Domain Act of
Kentucky. No payment or award in any condemnation proceedings, or for the cost or
expense of the proceedings, shall be made except from funds provided under the
authority of this chapter.
