19. The Legislature finds that there exist in certain municipalities certain industrial, port, and airport areas which warrant redevelopment but do not presently generate adequate funding sources with which to stimulate such activities. As a result, municipal revenues derived from other areas in the municipality have for many years been diverted to such areas in order to induce redevelopment at such locations. In addition, the worldwide financial credit crisis has created an environment in which private financial activity in certain cities has been curtailed, resulting in decreased revenue collections that have necessitated severe cuts in local budgets for services.
The Legislature declares that it is therefore an appropriate and necessary public purpose to provide a new source of funding, derived from a tax on the rental of motor vehicles within designated industrial zones, to finance various redevelopment activities occurring within those municipalities.
