Inc., finds that the boundaries of the area designated as the Economic Development
Zone in the Village of Horseheads and other municipalities should be revised
so as to offer special incentives and assistance that will promote the development
of new businesses and the expansion of existing businesses and the development
of human resources within the zone. The intent of the Board of Trustees of

Development Zone" prepared by Sear-Brown Group dated April 1, 2000, and are
