175.750 Legislative findings. The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky determines as a legislative
finding of fact that the economy of the Commonwealth and the consequent economic
development potential of the citizens of the Commonwealth are vitally dependent upon
the existence and availability of a statewide system of safe, adequate and well-maintained
highways, roads and thoroughfares; that there is a serious need for construction,
reconstruction, and in some cases relocation of many such highways, roads and
thoroughfares to preserve and enhance the economic well-being and development of the
Commonwealth and the health and safety of the public; and that in many cases, highways,
roads and thoroughfares which are vital economic links between various sections of the
Commonwealth have become, by reason of age and continued usage obsolete and are no
longer capable of affording the services required in a modern industrial society. The
General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky further determines as a legislative
finding of fact that the construction, reconstruction, and relocation of a system of such
economic development roads through the Turnpike Authority of Kentucky will preserve
and enhance the economic viability of the Commonwealth, will enable the
Commonwealth to prosper and make available its economic potentials to the fullest
possible degree, will protect and enhance the safety, health, convenience and welfare of
the traveling public and will therefore constitute the performance of essential
governmental and public purposes. Effective: July 15, 1980
