11-53B-1
Section 11-53B-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds all of the following: (1) It is
estimated that within the municipalities of the state, there exist several thousand parcels
of real property that due to poor design, obsolescence, or neglect, have become unsafe to
the extent of becoming public nuisances. Much of this property is vacant or in a state of
disrepair and is causing or may cause a blight or blighting influence on the city and the
neighborhoods in which the property is located. Such property constitutes a threat to the
health, safety, and welfare to the citizens of the state and is an impediment to economic
development within the municipality. This threat can be minimized if an incorporated municipality
is authorized to repair the affected structures and is able to recover the cost of the repairs.
In addition, where the municipality has undertaken the demolition of the structures and has
taken a lien on the real property for the cost of the demolition, there has not...

Section 11-92B-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature makes the following findings: (1) That
the economic development of property comprising a former military installation is of vital
importance to the life, health, and welfare of the citizens of local cities and counties affected
