40-58-04. Workable program

A municipality for the purposes of this chapter may formulate a workable program for

utilizing appropriate private and public resources, including those specified in section 40-58-18,

to facilitate the development of industrial or commercial properties, eliminate and prevent the

development or spread of slums and urban blight, encourage needed urban rehabilitation,

provide for the redevelopment of slum and blighted areas, or undertake these activities or other

workable program. The workable program may include provision for:

blight through diligent enforcement of housing, zoning, and occupancy controls and

standards;

areas by replanning, 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
