Default Re: take the action(s)

. . . officials would find the will and take the action necessary to keep this (and other) blights off the streets.

Yes, you could use 'take the actions,' in fact, that goes better with "this and other blights"

I suspect that the speaker just wanted to keep the "find the will/take the action" rhythm of the sentence.
