2021 Florida Statutes|Title XIX - Public Business|Chapter 290 - Urban Redevelopment|290.003 - Policy and Purpose.

1290.003 Policy and purpose.—It is the policy of this state to provide the necessary means to assist local communities, their residents, and the private sector in creating the proper economic and social environment to induce the investment of private resources in productive business enterprises located in severely distressed areas and to provide jobs for residents of such areas. In achieving this objective, the state will seek to provide appropriate investments, tax benefits, and regulatory relief of sufficient importance to encourage the business community to commit its financial participation. The purpose of ss. 290.001-290.016 is to establish a process that clearly identifies such severely distressed areas and provides incentives by both the state and local government to induce private investment in such areas. The Legislature, therefore, declares the revitalization of enterprise zones, through the concerted efforts of government and the private sector, to be a public purpose.History.—s. 1, ch. 82-119; ss. 44, 57, ch. 84-356; ss. 18, 37, ch. 94-136; s. 11, ch. 2005-287.1Note.—Repealed December 31, 2015, by s. 11, ch. 2005-287.
