An authority shall have the right to acquire by the exercise of

the power of eminent domain any real property or interest therein

which it may deem necessary for its purposes under this act after

the adoption by it of a resolution declaring that the acquisition of

the real property described therein is necessary for such purposes.

An authority may exercise the power of eminent domain in the same

acquired without its consent.

In the event any housing authority in exercising any of the

powers conferred by this act makes necessary the relocation,

raising, rerouting or changing the grade of or altering the

construction of any railroad, common carrier, public utility

property or facility, all such relocation, raising, rerouting,

changing of grade or alteration of construction shall be

accomplished at the expense of the housing authority, provided that

the housing authority shall not disturb the possession or operation

of any railroad, common carrier, or public utility in or to the

appropriated property or facility until the relocated property or

facilities are available for use and until marketable title thereto

has been transferred to the railroad, common carrier or public

utility.
