[Adopted 10-23-1967]
A.
Whereas economic insecurity, due to unemployment,
is at any time a serious menace to the health, safety, morals and
general welfare of the people of the County of York and a high level
of unemployment and lack of business opportunity are threats to the
strength and permanence of American political and economic institutions
and the philosophy of freedom on which those institutions are based;
B.
Whereas a minimum level of unemployment and a maximum
level of business opportunity can best be provided by the promotion,
attraction, stimulation, rehabilitation and revitalization of industry,
manufacturing and research and development in the county;
C.
Whereas the present and prospective health, safety,
morals and general welfare of the people of the county require, as
a public purpose, the promotion and development of new, expanded and
rehabilitated industrial, manufacturing and research and development
enterprises;
D.
Whereas existing industrial, manufacturing, research
and development enterprises, throughout the county, could become more
competitive and could expand more rapidly if means of financing were
available for modern plant facilities and modern machinery and equipment;
E.
Whereas additional industrial, manufacturing and research
and development facilities could be attracted to the county if means
of financing were available to construct, rehabilitate and expand
industrial plants and, in conjunction therewith, equip the same with
modern machinery and equipment; and
F.
Whereas the Industrial Development Authority Law,
approved August 23, 1967, now known as the "Economic Development Financing
Law" (see 73 P.S. § 371 et seq.), provides for the organization
of local industrial development authorities which shall exist and
operate for the public purpose of alleviating unemployment, maintaining
employment at a high level and creating and developing business opportunities
by the construction, improvement, rehabilitation, revitalization and
financing of industrial, manufacturing, research and development enterprises;
