2-4-3. Purpose.

(1) The legislative body of Tooele County finds and declares that:

(a) the development of tourism, recreation, cultural, and convention facilities throughout the county is necessary to insure continued growth in the tourism, recreation, and convention industry in the county;

(b) modern and state-of-the-art tourism, recreation, cultural, and convention facilities would attract tourists, recreation, and convention business in a substantially greater amount than facilities that are obsolete or do not otherwise fill the needs of such business;

(c) available sources of assistance and capital in the county are inadequate by themselves without county assistance to assure necessary development of tourism, recreation, cultural, and convention facilities;

(d) other counties have programs of aid to their political subdivisions to foster the development of tourism, recreation, cultural, and convention facilities; and

(e) fostering the development of tourism, recreation, cultural, and convention facilities is a county purpose affecting the welfare of all county citizens and the growth of the economy county-wide.

(2) It is therefore the purpose of this chapter that the county provide a means to foster

the development of tourism, recreation, cultural, and convention facilities in order to further the welfare of the citizens of the county and its economic growth. (Ord. 96-18, 7/2/96)
