It is declared to be the policy of the Village Council to promote and encourage the sound development, including renewal and redevelopment where necessary, of the entire village in accordance with the general plan for the village. Council realizes that the village government will be unable to carry out coordinated and effective programs for renewing the village without the cooperation and support of the public as a whole. Therefore, the Council stands ready to cooperate with private enterprise, civic groups, neighborhood agencies, and governmental agencies in developing and carrying out urban renewal programs and projects to promote the sound development of new areas, to prevent the spread of slums and blight and to eliminate slums, blighted, deteriorated, and deteriorating areas in the village.
