52:27H-22.4. Findings, declarations  The Legislature finds and declares that:  a. The Sister Cities program both in concept and practice has been a valuable program for encouraging cultural, educational and trade relationships between cities in the United States and cities in other countries;  b. This same concept has been applied to a sister state-province relationship between New Jersey and Zhejiang Province in the Peoples Republic of China since May 11, 1981, and has resulted in a number of successful cultural, educational and economic exchanges; and  c. As a means of furthering cultural, educational and trade relationships between this State and similar jurisdictions in other countries, it is important to build upon existing knowledge concerning sister city and sister state relationships and to aggressively seek to establish other sister state relationships.

2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 52 - State Government, Departments and Officers|Section 52:27H-22.7 - Findings, declarations relative to export trade

52:27H-22.7. Findings, declarations relative to export trade  1. The Legislature hereby finds and declares that: a. The United States has significantly fallen behind other industrialized nations with respect to the volume of its exports in relation to its gross national product, and this trend will continue as the European economic community grows in strength as an economic competitor; b. The advent of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the opening of markets in Eastern Europe and the nations of the former Soviet Union present important opportunities to expand our markets abroad; c. Export trade has a material impact in bringing about economic expansion and sustainable economic growth, having a particularly salutary effect upon manufacturing industries which have saturated their domestic markets; d. Many small domestic industries have the potential for great expansion through the development of export trade, but lack the incentive, information, expertise, and financing to develop an effective export trade program; e. In order to assist businesses with little or no export experience in establishing a relationship with an export agent which has the appropriate expertise and offers a full range of export services, the Legislature finds it appropriate to establish a voluntary State certification program for qualified export trading corporations organized solely to assist new entrants into the export market, in an effort to ensure a standard of proficiency and reliability in the export services provided.

2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 52 - State Government, Departments and Officers|Section 52:27H-29 - Findings, declarations.

52:27H-29 Findings, declarations.  1. The Legislature finds that the tourist, resort and convention industry of Atlantic City has traditionally made an important contribution to the economic vitality of this State; that the recent revitalization of that industry as a result of the authorization of casino gaming in Atlantic City has resulted in significant economic benefits not only to the residents of the city and its immediate environs, but to all of the residents of the State in the form of increased business and employment opportunities and augmented State and local revenues; and that the future growth of this industry will depend in part upon the provision and operation of an attractive convention center in Atlantic City or the promotion and marketing of the city of Atlantic City and the provision of an adequate mechanism whereby the interests and efforts of the State, the city and the private sector may be effectively coordinated and the financial soundness of a convention center assured.  To this end, the Legislature declares the establishment of an authority having the requisite power to own, lease, promote, operate, maintain, transfer and sell a convention center project in Atlantic City and to promote and market the city of Atlantic City to be in the public interest of the citizens of this State.  The Legislature further finds that it is in the best interests of the State for the Atlantic City Convention and Visitors Authority established pursuant to the provisions of P.L.1981, c.459 (C.52:27H-29 et seq.), which is the entity most closely related to the facilities and operations of the Atlantic City convention center project, to acquire ownership of and assume responsibility and control over the daily operations of the project.
