The general assembly hereby finds and declares that it is in the best interests of the state of Colorado to maintain this state's economic and commercial viability in the world of national and international commerce by providing incentives to encourage growth in existing industries and to attract new industry. To that end, foreign-trade zones are established, operated, and maintained pursuant to a grant of privilege from the foreign-trade zones board upon proper application in accordance with the “Foreign-trade Zones Act of 1934”, 19 U.S.C. sec. 81. This article is enacted to allow designated corporations, including the city and county of Denver, to make application for such grant of the privilege to establish such a foreign-trade zone in Colorado.
