§ 822. Legislative findings
Currentness
The General Assembly finds that:
(1) This Commonwealth has lost over 4,000,000 acres of farmland to development in the last 40 years.
(2) The phenomenon of urban flight and sprawl has led to a decline of traditional central and neighborhood business districts throughout this Commonwealth.
(3) The decline of these districts has a clear linkage to many problems facing our communities: crime, unemployment, shrinking tax bases and decaying infrastructure.
(4) It is important that priority be given to using urban areas in general.
(5) It is in the best interest of this Commonwealth to facilitate the revitalization of traditional central and neighborhood business districts within our communities.
(6) Federal agencies already have established a policy to use downtown locations.
