§ 15-9-201 — Declarations

(a) The Wyoming legislature declares that the organization
of downtown development authorities having the purposes and
powers provided in this act will serve a public use; will
promote the health, safety, prosperity, security and general
welfare of the inhabitants thereof and of the people of this
state, will halt or prevent deterioration of property values or
structures within central business districts, will halt or
prevent the growth of blighted areas within such districts, and
will assist municipalities in the development and redevelopment
of such districts and in the overall planning to restore or
provide for the continuance of the health thereof, and will be
of especial benefit to the property within the boundaries of any
authority created pursuant to the provisions of this article.
(b) The Wyoming legislature determines, finds and declares
that because of a number of atypical factors and special
conditions concerning downtown development unique to each
locality, the rule of strict construction shall have no
application to this article, but it shall be liberally construed
to effect the purposes and objects for which it is intended.
