§1661. Eminent domain
The authority shall have no power of eminent domain, but the city of New Orleans
and the participating parishes, for purposes of the authority, may exercise the broadest power
of eminent domain permissible under the laws of this state; however, no local governing
body shall exercise any power of eminent domain hereunder with respect to property located
beyond its territorial limits, nor shall it expropriate any business enterprise or any of its assets
for the purpose of operating that enterprise or halting competition with a government
enterprise.
