SECTION 15.2-5383. Eminent domain  


The Authority shall have the right to acquire by eminent domain any real property, including fixtures and improvements, that it deems necessary to carry out the purposes of this chapter after it adopts a resolution declaring that the acquisition of the property described therein is in the public interest and necessary for public use. The Authority may exercise the power of eminent domain pursuant to the provisions of any applicable statutory provision now in force or hereafter enacted for the exercise of the power of eminent domain by any locality.

Property already devoted to a public use may be acquired; however, no property belonging to any locality, government, religious corporation, unincorporated church, or charitable corporation may be acquired without its consent.
