The County shall have and may exercise any and
all powers and perform any and all functions not specifically denied
by the Constitution of the United States of America, the Constitution
and laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the Charter.[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: The Charter is included at
the beginning of this volume.
The powers of the County under the Charter shall
be construed broadly in favor of the County, and the specific mention
of particular powers in the Charter shall not be construed as limiting
in any way the general power stated in the Charter. All possible powers
of the County are to be considered as if specifically and individually
set forth in the Charter whether such powers are presently available
to the County or may hereinafter from time to time become available.
The County may exercise any of its powers or
perform any of its functions and may participate in the financing
thereof, jointly or in cooperation, by contract or otherwise, with
the United States Government or any agencies thereof, with the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania or any other state, or any unit, division or agency
thereof, or with any municipality, authority or any local or regional
agency or intergovernmental agency or council.
