Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 5 of Chapter 390 of the Acts of Assembly of 1984 is amended and reenacted as follows:

§ 5. Acquisition of property.

A. The Authority is hereby authorized and empowered to acquire by purchase or by eminent domain as set forth in subsection C below from funds provided under the provisions of this act, and such other moneys as may be provided by federal, state and local governments or by gift, such lands, structures, property, rights, rights-of-way, franchises, easements and other interests in lands property as it may deem necessary or convenient for the project, upon such terms and conditions as may be considered by it to be reasonable and can be agreed upon between it and the owner thereof operation and safety of the Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport (the "Airport") and its landing fields.

All public agencies and commissions of the Commonwealth, with the approval of the Governor, and, notwithstanding any contrary provisions of law, general or special, the City of Charlottesville and the County of Albemarle, without the necessity for any advertisement, order or court or other action of formality, are hereby authorized and empowered to lease, lend, grant, give, transfer or convey to the Authority at its request upon such terms and conditions as may be mutually agreed upon any real, personal or mixed property, including money, which may be necessary or convenient to the effectuation of the authorized purposes of the Authority, including public highways and other property already devoted to public use.

B. Title to any property acquired by the Authority shall be taken in the name of the Authority.

C. The Authority is hereby granted full power to exercise the right of eminent domain in the acquisition of any lands, easements, privileges and other interests in property located in Albemarle County and necessary for the operation of the Airport. This power shall include, but not be limited to, the authority to acquire, by eminent domain, aviation or other easements over lands or waters inside or outside of the boundaries of the Airport. Eminent domain proceedings for the acquisition of property interests hereunder shall be instituted and conducted in the name of the Authority and in accord with Title 25 of the Code of Virginia, as it now exists or may be amended from time to time.
