40-57-20. Declaration and finding of public purpose
The legislative assembly declares and finds that it is and has been the purpose of this
chapter to sanction, authorize, and encourage activities in the public interest and for the welfare
of the state, its municipal subdivisions, and people by assisting establishment of additional
industrial plants and activities within the state and increasing production of wealth and adding to
the volume of employment, particularly during those seasons when employment in farming and
ranching is slack, thus alleviating unemployment among the people of the state.
