Section 41-10-21 Legislative findings of fact and declaration of intent; construction
of article. The Legislature hereby makes the following findings of fact and declares its intent
to be as follows: In recent years changes have taken place in the economy of this state which
have had a far-reaching effect on the welfare of its citizens. The agrarian economy which
once prevailed in this state and provided the principal means of livelihood for most of the
citizens of the state has proven inadequate to provide employment for the state's growing
population. The advent of mechanized and scientific farming methods has reduced greatly the
number of persons required to obtain increased yields of agricultural products from land under
cultivation. There has been a correspondingly greater dependence upon industrial development
as the bulwark of the economy of this state. It is appropriate and necessary that measures
be taken to secure to the citizens of this state the benefits of a strengthened...

and permit the establishment of brewpubs located in such historic buildings, sites, or districts
in urban redevelopment areas or economically distressed areas of those municipalities located
within counties where the brewing of beer for consumption by the...
