Section 41-10-720 Legislative findings. The Legislature makes the following findings: (1) At
any given time, the level of activity in our construction industry is a primary yardstick
for measuring the overall economic health of this country and this state, and that the success
and stability of the building, manufacturing, and commercial businesses are dependent upon
a sufficient supply of skilled artisans and craft persons who can produce quality products
that inspire public confidence. The State of Alabama and the nation has a great need for a
program that provides for the recruitment of, and training programs and opportunities for,
new construction craft trade workers. It is desirable and in the public interest to establish
a public authority at the state level to create and implement such a program. (2) The passage
of a federal economic stimulus package provides substantial funding for significant new highway,
road, bridge, and public infrastructure projects, and the Legislature...

Section 2-6-11 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that the Garrett Coliseum and the
Alabama Agricultural Center, hereinafter the facility, is a significant historic facility
owned by the State of Alabama and which faces imminent closure because of operational and
public safety concerns if it is not restored, renovated, and improved. The facility was designed
in 1949 by Betty Robinson, the first woman graduate from Auburn University with a degree in
architecture. The facility, completed in 1953, is of historic and cultural significance to
the State of Alabama and its restoration will enhance opportunities for economic development
that will benefit the state. The Legislature further finds that the most efficient way to
restore the facility and to operate it profitably is for the Alabama Agricultural Center Board,
hereinafter referred to as the board, to enter into agreements with public institutions and
other entities through which the use of private funding is primarily used to...

Section 41-4-350 Legislative findings; purpose. (a) The Legislature of Alabama hereby finds
and determines that the responsible stewardship of its state-owned and leased real property
is a proper governmental function of the State of Alabama. The Legislature finds that costs
for maintenance, construction, and leasing of real property in the state government comprise
a significant portion of available resources. The Legislature also finds that as one of the
largest owners and operators of buildings in Alabama, the state is a major consumer of energy.
It is therefore the intent of Act 2015-435 to establish centralized management of real property
through leasing administration, facilities maintenance and management, and construction management
that consists of expanded duties in existing divisions, as well as newly established divisions,
within the Department of Finance. In establishing this centralization, it is further the intent
of the Legislature to establish comprehensive real...
