Ga. L. 1999, p. 1206, § 1, not codified by the General Assembly, provides: "The General Assembly finds that large scale projects with multiple uses offer a unique opportunity for local government, state government, and the private sector to cooperate in producing growth and development in rural areas resulting in additional local tax revenue and providing employment opportunities of high caliber in tourism and hospitality, industries which are environmentally friendly and promote increased recreational opportunities and an enhanced quality of life for all Georgians. The General Assembly further finds that successful cooperation can provide benefits to the state through the overall economic impact of the project, improved local land use management, and strategic infrastructure investment and benefits to the private sector developer through the predictability of certain types of licenses and services. The General Assembly further finds that the location of these projects in rural areas could substantially advance efforts to improve the economic well-being of rural Georgia."
