The bill grants the authority more extensive powers borrow and to undertake “activities that foster transportation, economic development, housing, recreation, education, governmental operations, culture, or research.” Among many other provisions the bill contains language establishing “promoting economic growth” as “an essential public purpose,” which would potentially allow the exercise of eminent domain over private property, and other regulations.
