1 5 "Section 1. NEW SECTION. 358C.1 LEGISLATIVE
1 6 FINDINGS &endash; PURPOSE.
1 7 The general assembly finds and declares as follows:
1 8 1. The economic health and development of Iowa
1 9 communities is tied to opportunities for jobs in and
1 10 near those communities and the availability of jobs is
1 11 in part tied to the availability of affordable, decent
1 12 housing in those communities.
1 13 2. A need exists for a program to assist
1 14 developers and communities in increasing the
1 15 availability of housing in Iowa communities.
1 16 3. A shortage of opportunities and means for
1 17 developing local housing exists. It is in the best
1 18 interest of the state and its citizens for
1 19 infrastructure development which will lower the costs
1 20 of developing housing.
1 21 4. The expansion of local housing is dependent
1 22 upon the cost of providing the basic infrastructure
1 23 necessary for a housing development. Providing this
1 24 infrastructure is a public purpose for which the state
1 25 may encourage the formation of real estate improvement
1 26 districts for the purpose of providing water, sewer,
