the Georgia Code
2006 Georgia Code - 8-4-4
8-4-4. Any housing authority established pursuant to
Article 1 of Chapter 3 of this title, the 'Housing Authorities
Law,' is authorized to prepare or cause to be prepared
redevelopment plans and to undertake redevelopment projects within
its area of operation, in accordance with this chapter. In
undertaking such redevelopment projects, a housing authority shall
have all the rights, powers, privileges, and immunities that such
authority has under Article 1 of Chapter 3 of this title, the
'Housing Authorities Law,' 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 in the same manner as though all of 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 Code Sections 8-3-11
and 8-3-12 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 property and operate it
free from the restrictions contained in said Code sections.
