§ 18A:64J-38 — Findings, declarations

The Legislature finds and declares that polymer or plastics processing and surface modification are areas of extreme importance to industry worldwide and that advances in these areas are expected to produce significant economic growth and increases in productivity. New Jersey, because of its strength in petrochemicals as well as the foothold which its institutions of higher education have already gained in polymer processing and surface modification research, is in an excellent position to be a major contributor and participant in this economic growth and development. To this end, the Legislature finds that the establishment of an advanced technology center in polymer processing and surface modification will generate additional research and technological innovations to promote industrial development and economic growth.
