Most significantly, the legislature defined “renewal project” and “renewal area” in § 1(16) and (17) without any limiting reference to the DDA’s area of operation. The most reasonable overall interpretation of the DDA Act is that it focuses the mission of the DDA by specifying an area of operation while recognizing, realistically, that the DDA may have to undertake activities outside its area of operation to prevent the spread of slum and blight or to enhance activities within the area of operation. The DDA Act thus gives the DDA the power to act within or without the area of operation to effectuate its purpose, which is to eliminate slum and blight through renewal projects. It does not distinguish the procedures required to approve a project undertaken within the area of operation from those required to approve a project located outside such area.
