[Adopted 8-8-2022 by Ord. No. 1620]
The Borough of Greenville has determined that there is a need
to plan and implement activities needed to redevelop underutilized,
deteriorated, or blighted areas to encourage new development, promote
growth, create tax revenue, and create new jobs for the Borough of
Greenville. It is, therefore, the desire and intention of the Borough
of Greenville to organize and incorporate a Redevelopment Authority
pursuant to the provisions of the Urban Redevelopment Law as enacted
by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Act of May 24, 1945, P.L. 991
(35 P.S. § 1701 et seq.), as amended, as there is a need
for a Redevelopment Authority to function within the territorial limits
of the Borough of Greenville.
The Borough Council, the Borough Manager, and the Borough Solicitor
are hereby authorized and directed to execute, on behalf of the Borough
of Greenville, Articles of Incorporation for the Redevelopment Authority,
in substantially the following form, and cause the same to be held
within the Department of State of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
with a copy to be filed with the Department of Community and Economic
Development of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, thereby enabling
the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of State,
to issue a certificate of incorporation, thus creating the Redevelopment
Authority of the Borough of Greenville.
The lawful purpose of the Redevelopment Authority shall be all
or any one of the proper purposes as set forth in the Urban Redevelopment
Law as may be amended and shall include, without limitation, the exercise
of the powers set forth in Section 1709 of the Urban Redevelopment
Law.[1]
