5:12-173.10. Findings, declaration relative to CRDA urban revitalization program
2. The Legislature finds and declares that:
a. Legalized casino gambling was approved by New Jersey's voters in 1976 as a "unique tool of urban redevelopment" to facilitate the revitalization of Atlantic City and other distressed municipalities throughout the State;
b. The Legislature created the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority (the "CRDA") to oversee the investment of casino gambling revenues for development projects in Atlantic City and other areas throughout the State;
c. During the past 25 years, the development of Atlantic City's multi-billion dollar casino industry and the CRDA's investment of hundreds of millions of dollars in housing, commercial and nonprofit projects have greatly benefited the people of New Jersey and have served as a model for many other states and countries that wished to emulate Atlantic City's successful record of casino development and economic growth;
d. It is altogether fitting and proper on the occasion of the 25th year of legalized casino gaming in Atlantic City to establish a new program to facilitate the next phase of Atlantic City's development into a regional, national and international "destination resort" and at the same time, to insure that substantial commitments are made to projects to revitalize urban areas and promote continued economic growth throughout the State.

5:12-176. Waiver of requirements relating to composition, during first ten years of tax obligation, of investment tax credit; conditions
Upon a showing of good cause by a licensee, the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority may, in its sole discretion, waive the requirements of subsection b. of section 3 of this act that, during the first 10 years of a licensee's obligation to pay the investment alternative tax imposed by subsection a. of section 3 of this act, at least 100% of the investment tax credit against the tax imposed by subsection a. of section 3 be composed of the purchase of bonds of the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority, provided the licensee shall make an equivalent investment in or guarantee of infrastructure requirements, such as public roads, streets, intersections and sewer and water facilities, which are dedicated to the public use and benefit society as a whole. To the extent any such investment in or guarantee of infrastructure requirements exceeds the demand for such requirements created by an approved casino hotel or related facility and thus does not finance infrastructure improvements required to be made by a casino licensee pursuant to subsection e. of section 84 of P.L.1977, c. 110 (C. 5:12-84), the excess investment or guarantee may, in the sole discretion of the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority, be considered an eligible investment or project if the authority finds that the investment or guarantee serves the most pressing social and economic needs of the residents of the city of Atlantic City and otherwise satisfies the requirements of section 25 of this 1984 amendatory and supplementary act, and if the authority determines that the amount waived does not impair the amount to be set aside pursuant to section 33 of this act and that the waiver will not violate any agreement or covenant or impair any financial obligation of the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority.

In lieu of buying the bonds of the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority or in lieu of making a direct investment, the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority may, in its sole discretion, permit a licensee to obtain an investment tax credit by making a donation of money or realty to an eligible project, facility or program. For the purposes of applying this section, a donation shall be deemed to be an investment and shall be subject to any provision of this 1984 amendatory and supplementary act which is relevant to an investment. No donation shall qualify for investment tax credit unless it has been approved and determined to be eligible for investment tax credit by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority prior to the making of the donation and provided that the granting of the waiver to make the donation will not violate any agreement or covenant or impair any financial obligation of the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority.
