The township may acquire, by purchase, condemnation or otherwise,
private property or an interest in private property for the removal
of nonconforming uses. The cost and expense, or a portion thereof,
of acquiring the private property may be paid from general funds or
assessed to a special district in accordance with the applicable statutory
provisions relating to the creation and operation of special assessment
districts for public improvements in the township. The elimination
of the nonconforming uses and structures in a zoning district is declared
to be for a public purpose and for a public use. The township board
may institute and prosecute proceedings for condemnation of nonconforming
uses and structures under the power of eminent domain in accordance
with Act No. 149 of the Public Acts of Michigan of 1911 (MCL 213.21
et seq., MSA 8.11 et seq.), as amended, or other applicable statute.
