>Whatever the hell that means

NLDC is a "Community Development Corporation" -- it's a War-on-Poverty (Economic Opportunity Act of 1964) creation.

Not necessarily a bad idea in all cases. Another nearby city (Norwich) runs their industrial park through the Norwich Community Development Corporation so each lease negotiated isn't subject to direct political pressure.

striking "real" wouldn't be hard for me to agree to.

"involuntarily" I'm not so sure -- if I sell land knowing it's going to economic development, I probably don't need much protection. I'm not sure if "involuntarily" is implicit in "taking" though...I could be redundant.

"Private" is in keeping with how it's currently worded. Interesting though in dropping it.

In CT, the case law essentially establishes that among the Towns, one Town can't use emminent domain against another since it would setup and endless loop. You can use emminent domain outside of your town (for instance, to buy reservoir land), but you can't take property already publicly owned.

My Town was involved with this back about 20 years ago when a town in the Southwestern part of the state tried to take our privately-owned landfill by emminent domain and there was a race to the Town Clerk's office of who (Stamford or my town of Brooklyn) would file the papers first since the timestamp on papers would be crucial! With rumours that our attorneys snuck in a window to be inside when my aunt unlocked the office door...

The State, however, can take land from the Towns. Not private property so it's not under the U.S. Constitution per se, but they follow the same rules voluntarily for taking public (Town) land as they do for private property.

I would think the Feds would act similiarly.
