Section 11-40-16 Creation of enterprise zones within Class 1 cities; purpose. (a) The Legislature of Alabama hereby finds and declares that the health, safety, and welfare of the people of Class 1 cities are enhanced by the continual encouragement, development, growth, and expansion of private enterprise within this state.

Section 22-6-191 Legislative intent.
