§  956.  Statement  of  legislative  findings and declaration.   It is   hereby found and declared that there  exist  within  the  state  certain   areas   characterized   by   persistent   and  pervasive  poverty,  high   unemployment,  limited  new  job  creation,  a  dependence   on   public   assistance  income,  dilapidated and abandoned industrial and commercial   facilities, and shrinking tax bases.

It is the   public policy of the state to offer special  incentives  and  assistance   that  will  promote  the development of new businesses, the expansion of   existing businesses and the development of human resources within  these   economically  impoverished  areas  and  to do so without encouraging the   relocation of business investment from other areas of the state.  It  is   further  found and declared that it is the public policy of the state to   achieve these goals through the mutual  cooperation  of  all  levels  of   state and local government and the business community.
