§ 990-a. Statement of legislative findings and declaration. Across the

nation municipal theme districts have arisen to construct, renovate and

geographically coordinate areas of a municipality into a common area for

art, entertainment, education, culture or business. These areas develop

the economy, tourism, culture, education and the quality of life of a

community. It shall be the public policy of the state to encourage the

development of theme districts and to promote their establishment,

designation, administration and success.
