(20 ILCS 695/20-5)
Sec. 20-5.
Purpose.
The General Assembly finds that an essential step to
assist the
Illinois economy, both on a statewide and on a local level, to respond to
increasingly
competitive global conditions and economic trends is to establish a consensus
on a long-term economic development strategy that recognizes both the
competitive
position of the
State's regions and needs of commerce and industry. A unique partnership
between State
and local development groups and between the private and public sectors can set
a
comprehensive and responsive agenda of community improvement and community
economic development.
