Columbia Use of eminent domain for economic development and blight The city shall not exercise the power of eminent domain to acquire property for economic development, specific state, federal, or local economic development initiatives, or for programs related to economic development such as ordinance (Charter § 167)

jobs programs, poverty alleviation, or area, community or neighborhood revitalization, with the intent that the
