     7-15-4298. Legislative findings. The legislature finds and declares that:
     (1) infrastructure-deficient areas exist in the municipalities of the state and constitute a serious impediment to the development of infrastructure-intensive, secondary, value-adding economic development in Montana;
     (2) municipalities lack sufficient capital to rectify the infrastructure shortage in infrastructure-deficient areas, thus impeding the ability of municipalities to achieve economic growth through the development of secondary, value-adding industries;
     (3) the creation of industrial infrastructure is a matter of state policy and state concern because the state and its municipalities will continue to suffer economic dislocation due to the lack of secondary, value-adding industries; and
     (4) the state's tax increment financing laws should be used to encourage the creation of areas in which needed industrial infrastructure for secondary, value-adding industries could be developed.

     History: En. Sec. 2, Ch. 712, L. 1989.
