Section 2802 Findings.

63M-1-2802. Findings.
(1) The Legislature finds that:
(a) to foster and develop the alternative energy industry in Utah, including generation and manufacturing, will promote the interest of Utah's citizens in encouraging the growth of the state's economy;
(b) Utah loses prospective high paying jobs, new economic growth, and corresponding incremental new state and local revenues to competing states due to a wide variety of competing energy incentives offered by those states; and
(c) alternative energy initiatives and interests of state and local officials should be aligned and united in alternative energy generation and related manufacturing.
(2) This part is enacted to:
(a) increase generation of alternative energy and create high paying jobs in the alternative energy industry, thereby growing the state's economy and corresponding state and local revenues by providing tax credits to attract new alternative energy projects and assist in the expansion of existing alternative energy projects located within alternative energy development zones in the state; and
(b) provide a cooperative and unified working relationship between state and local alternative energy development efforts.
