52:27H-61 Legislative findings, determinations.  2. The Legislature finds and determines: a. That there persist in this State, particularly in its urban centers, areas of economic distress characterized by high unemployment, low investment of new capital, blighted conditions, obsolete or abandoned industrial or commercial structures, and deteriorating tax bases. b. That the severe and persistent deterioration of these areas demands vigorous and coordinated efforts by private and public entities to restore their prosperity and enable them to resume significant contributions to the economic and social life of the State. c. That the economic revitalization of these areas requires application of the skills and entrepreneurial vigor of private enterprise; and it is the responsibility of government to provide a framework within which encouragement be given to private capital investment in these areas, disincentives to investment be removed or abated, and mechanisms be provided for the coordination and cooperation of private and public agencies in restoring the economic viability and prosperity of these areas. d. That certain urban areas which continue to experience high levels of unemployment should be able to continue to receive the aforementioned assistance and incentives necessary to promote economic revitalization of those areas. e. That a business district with urban enterprise zones adjacent to it on two or more sides can be negatively impacted because the businesses in the adjacent enterprise zones are permitted to collect 50% less sales tax and thus have a significant advantage in competition for customers. The impacted business district can become economically distressed because there is a disincentive to businesses to invest in or stay in that business district.
