Section 41-23-20 Short title; legislative findings and purpose. This article shall be cited
as the "Alabama Enterprise Zone Act." The Legislature of Alabama hereby finds and
declares that the health, safety, and welfare of the people of this state are dependent upon
the continued encouragement, development, growth, and expansion of the private sector within
the state and that there are certain depressed areas in the state that need the particular
attention of government to help attract private sector investment into these areas. Therefore,
it is declared to be the purpose of this article to stimulate business and industrial growth
in the depressed areas of the state, both in urban and rural areas, by the relaxation of certain
governmental controls, by providing assistance to businesses and industries, and by providing
state and local tax and nontax incentives in these areas. (Acts 1987, No. 87-573, p. 897,
§1.)...

Section 45-37A-461 Electric supplier service territories. (a) The Legislature of the State
of Alabama has investigated the economic, financial, and environmental impact associated with
the potential for duplication of electric distribution facilities used for the furnishing
of retail electric service in and around the City of Tarrant City, Alabama. Among its findings
is that with respect to retail electric service industry, the benefits normally associated
with competition between two suppliers for customers is outweighed by the tremendous cost
burden which must be borne by such customers associated with the maintenance of two or more
duplicate sets of facilities. It is the further finding of the Legislature that the existence
of duplicate facilities for the furnishing of electricity at retail in Tarrant City is not
in the public interest because of the adverse impact which such duplication has on environmental
and aesthetic values and on safety. It is therefore declared that the...

Section 28-4A-6 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that it is in the best interest
of the public welfare of the State of Alabama to preserve and redevelop the downtown municipal
areas and registered historic districts and certain economically distressed areas of this
state and to further promote the preservation and redevelopment of historic buildings and
sites. The Legislature finds that an effective way of facilitating the urban redevelopment
program and the preservation of historic buildings and sites, and registered historic districts
and any economically distressed area designated as suitable by the municipal or county governing
body is by creating a single exception to the existing alcoholic beverage laws to authorize
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...

Section 6-5-751 Legislative findings and objectives. (a) The Legislature finds that the recruitment,
establishment, development, and growth of the commercial aviation aircraft manufacturing industry
in the State of Alabama is important to the economic health of the state and its agencies
and institutions and to the general health, welfare, and prosperity of its citizens. The Legislature
