1. A. The Legislature finds the following to be beneficial goals of the state: attracting, retaining and providing favorable conditions for the recruitment and growth of certain high-impact business projects or facilities which provide widespread economic benefits to the public through high-quality employment opportunities or capital investment in such projects or facilities and net economic benefits to the state.
2. B. The Legislature further finds that there exists serious competition for these projects and facilities, and that without a workable closing fund, Oklahoma continues to be at a competitive disadvantage in vying with states that have such a fund for attracting and/or retaining these business projects.
