A.Â
It is hereby found and determined that the Town of Moreau
has experienced a significant downturn in its manufacturing employment over
the last 10 years and that there exists generally an unacceptably high level
of unemployment in the town. The increase in unemployment and concurrent decline
in the town's tax base present an immediate danger to the economic welfare
of the town and its citizens.
B.Â
In order to address and correct this situation, it is
hereby declared to be the policy of the town to promote, attract, encourage
and develop industry and commerce in the town in order to prevent further
employment and provide new employment opportunities for the residents of the
town and surrounding areas.
As used in this chapter, the following words and terms shall have the
following meanings:
The acquisition, construction, reconstruction, improvement or alteration,
in whole or in part, of any site, plant, structure, building or other facility
for manufacturing, processing (including recycling), warehousing, commercial,
industrial or technological research purposes or for other industrial use.
Any land within the town zoned for industrial use, together with
any buildings or structures on such land, suitable as a site for manufacturing,
processing (including recycling), warehousing, commercial, industrial or technological
research or for other industrial use.
Any city, town, village, industrial development agency, local development
corporation or public benefit corporation under the laws of the State of New
York within or operating within the boundaries of the Town of Saratoga County.
The Town of Moreau.

A.Â
It is hereby found and determined to be a governmental
and public purpose of the town to acquire, construct, operate and maintain

disposal facilities, water supply facilities and drainage facilities to serve
any industrial project and to provide for the acquisition, maintenance, clearance,
improvement, demolition, change of topographical, subsoil or other physical
conditions or other necessary site preparation work of any industrial site
as part of an industrial project.
B.Â
In furtherance of such purposes, the Town Board shall
have the following powers:
(1)Â
To enter into agreements with the State of New York,
the federal government, any public corporation, any private corporation and
any individual.

To expend money and utilize town officers, employees,
agents and/or town property.

(4)Â
To acquire title, leasehold, mortgage or such other interests
in real property as the Town Board shall determine to be necessary and appropriate

C.Â
In the exercise of such powers, the town shall not give
or loan its money, property or credit in aid of any individual or public or
private corporation or association in violation of § 1 of Article
8 or any other provision of the Constitution of the State of New York, and
provided further that any obligations issued for any purposes of the town
authorized pursuant to this chapter shall be issued in compliance with the
provisions of the Local Finance Law.
