45-49A-82
Section 45-49A-82 Legislative findings; purpose. The Legislature of Alabama finds and declares
that the health, safety, and welfare of the people of the City of Prichard, in Mobile County,
Alabama, are enhanced by the continual encouragement, development, growth, and expansion of
private enterprise within this state. That there are certain economically depressed areas
in such city that need particular attention to create new jobs, stimulate economic activity,
and attract private sector investment rather than government subsidy to improve the quality
of life of their citizens. It is the purpose of this part to encourage new economic activity
in this depressed area by means of reduced taxes and the removal of unnecessary governmental
barriers to the production and earning of wages and profits and the creation of economic growth.
