It is hereby found and declared that a Connecticut Equestrian Center located in Keney Park in the capital city of this state will attract a significant share of equestrian events, thereby promoting the economic development of the state, increasing tourism by creating a nationally competitive center which will attract regional, national and international equestrian events and promoting business activity and employment in hotels, restaurants and recreational and support facilities.
