                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS MAY ACQUIRE PROPERTY FROM UNITED STATES (§ 15.2-952)

Notwithstanding the provisions of any charter or any ordinance, any locality,
sanitary district or other political subdivision may, by ordinance or
resolution, authorize the acquisition and purchase from the United States of
America, or any agency thereof, whether now existing or hereafter created, of
any equipment, supplies, materials or other property, real or personal, in such
manner as such governing body may determine.
		It is the purpose of this section to enable any political subdivision of this
Commonwealth to secure from time to time promptly the benefits of acquisition
and purchases as authorized by this section, to aid them in securing
advantageous purchases, to prevent unemployment and thereby to assist in
promotion of public welfare and to these ends such political subdivisions may do
all things necessary or convenient to carry out such purpose, in addition to the
expressed power conferred by this section. This section is remedial in nature
and the powers hereby granted shall be liberally construed.
