The City of Bedford Falls was promoting economic development along the river. As part of the plan, the City sought to take Ma Bailey's boarding-house. Ma Bailey objected saying that economic development was not a basis to take her property. Can Bedford Falls force Ma Bailey to sell her boarding-house so new development can occur on the river?

b.Yes. Economic development is a legitimate public purpose to support the exercise of the city's eminent domain power.
