Section 11-49B-1 Declaration of purpose and legislative findings. The Legislature finds that it is estimated that by the year 2040, 40 percent of the economy of this nation, both people and jobs, will be located in a 14-state region between Texas and Virginia. Alabama, and in particular the Class 1 municipality and surrounding counties, will be in the very center of this geographic spread. This center of the growth pattern when combined with our educational facilities, quality of life, abundance of natural and cultural resources, steady economic growth, range of housing options, quality health care, climate, affordability, and accessibility provides this region with an unprecedented opportunity to attract new business both service based and manufacturing. It, therefore, is the intent of this chapter to take advantage of this growth opportunity by providing for a unified, coordinated, centrally orchestrated, genuinely regional system of public transportation embracing services in the...

Section 41-7A-41 Legislative findings. The following is hereby found and declared by the Legislature of Alabama: (1) Although Alabama is filled with attractive natural resources, a growing workforce, and other resources attractive to the entertainment industry, Alabama has not developed its potential in terms of attracting the entertainment industry to the state by offering production incentives for qualified productions not previously offered in Alabama. (2) Entertainment industry incentives offered by other states attract valuable projects to their states which stimulate local economies, use local manpower, offer other employment and entrepreneurial opportunities for state residents, and provide public awareness of the natural resources available in their states. (3) Because Alabama does not currently offer a viable incentive package to the industry, Alabama cannot effectively compete with other states for attracting industry projects and those projects locate elsewhere. (4) For...
