Latest version.
  • When the legislative body shall
      have resolved to establish a facility and programs for the  elderly,  it
      may  use  for such purpose real property owned by the county, town, city
      or village which, in its judgment, is not needed for  any  other  public
      use  or  it  may purchase or lease real property or interest or easement
      therein, or acquire such real property interest and easement therein  by
      condemnation proceedings in the manner provided by the provisions of the
      condemnation  law.  The purchase price or award for the real property or
      interest or easement therein acquired may be paid for  by  appropriation
      of  monies  available  therefor or may be financed, in whole or in part,
      pursuant to the local  finance  law.  Real  property  and  interests  or
      easements  therein may be acquired, pursuant to this section, for use on
      a determined or undetermined future date upon  a  determination  by  the
      local  legislative body that such action is necessary in order to obtain
      property which is desirable because of its reasonable cost, advantageous
      location or any other factor recommending immediate acquisition.
