Click on: http://www.lexis-nexis.com/hottopics/gacode/ Click on "OK close"" button. When the next screen comes up, into the "search" box, type "redevelopment powers" then hit "Search." Now, read all the subsections of Chapter 44. You should also read the pertinent section of the Georgia Constitution: Article IX, Paras V through VII. Here's the link: http://sos.georgia.gov/ELECTIONS/constitution_2007.pdf Now, if you want to move beyond being a knee jerk jerk and arrive at a sophisticated understanding of urban redevelopemnt, and particulary the role of eminent domain therein, here is an execellent, scholarly piece. http://www.vjel.org/takings/Mihaly_Article.pdf
