David Lawrence of the Institute of Government at UNC-Chapel Hill has been cited saying:
The ruling will not
affect North Carolina, said David Lawrence, a professor at the School
of Government of the University of North Carolina who specializes in
local-government issues.North Carolina law
lays out nine conditions under which cities and counties can condemn
private land, including those to create or expand roads, parks, sewer
lines and government buildings.Private development is not on that list, he said.
The Supreme Court ruling will have no effect unless the North Carolina legislature adds to the list, Lawrence said. [emphasis added]
On the other hand, are articles that make the following point
At least eight states _ Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Maine,
Montana, South Carolina and Washington _ already forbid the use of
eminent domain for economic development unless it is to eliminate
blight. Other states either expressly allow private property to be
taken for private economic purposes or have not spoken clearly to the
question.
North Carolina is in the second category.
