The Legislature hereby finds and declares that:
a. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (hereinafter called the Port Authority) has performed studies concerning the feasibility of redevelopment of specific waterfront areas in the port district which are no longer utilized in the movement of cargoes, or which are related to the movement of passengers and their vehicles, or which concern the operation or development of any other Port Authority project or facility;
b. The revitalization and economic development of those sections in the port district's waterfront through the construction of hotels, marinas, commercial offices, or facilities which serve conference, convention, recreation or entertainment purposes or are retail service establishments, parking, technical, communication or other facilities directly or indirectly related or connected to any of those sections of the port district's waterfront is in the public interest and involves the exercise of public and essential governmental functions which may include appropriate and reasonable limitations on competition and which should be performed by either state, or any municipality, public authority, agency or commission of either or both states and would provide significant economic benefits to the municipality in which the project is to be located;
c. The Port Authority, in view of its extensive experience both in waterfront construction and in the administration of waterfront projects and operations, including waterfront cleanup projects, is a proper agency to act on behalf of either state to finance and effectuate such waterfront development projects as may be approved by the city, county, town, village, borough or township in which they are to be located;
d. The construction of each such waterfront development project shall conform to the policies of the state wherein such project is to be located with respect to affirmative action and equal employment opportunities; and
e. It is therefore the object of this act to authorize the Port Authority to participate in the financing and effectuation of waterfront development projects since it is in the public interest.

In the event that any time the balance of moneys theretofore paid into the general reserve fund and not applied therefrom shall exceed an amount equal to 1/10 of the par value of all bonds upon the principal amount of which the amount of the general reserve fund is calculated, by reason of the retirement of bonds issued or incurred from time to time for any of the purposes of this act the par value of which had theretofore been included in the computation of said amount of the general reserve fund, then the port authority may pledge or apply such excess for and only for the purposes for which it is authorized by the general reserve fund statutes to pledge the moneys in the general reserve fund and such pledge may be made in advance of the time when such excess may occur.
