"Acquire" does not mean "condemn." The University of Richmond can also acquire land without state approval.

I still live near there and continue to see growth. granted while it is the college taking over the city, areas are much cleaner/nicer and much more pleasant to be in. while down town especially broad street has seen a minimum growth. honestly i feel like i have been hearing about this master plan for so long. it seems to keep getting slowed down, put on hold or just generally taking its damn time.
