. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) It is in the best interest of the state to facilitate the
transfer and reuse of property and infrastructure comprising military
bases designated for closure by the federal government in the most
expeditious manner.
(b) The disruption caused by the closure of any military base on
the civilian economy and the people of the surrounding communities
should be minimized.
(c) The state should facilitate the reuse and development of the
military base in ways that enhance the economy and quality of life of
the communities surrounding the base.
(d) Any reuse and development of the military base should to the
maximum extent possible maintain and protect the unique environmental
resources of the state.
(e) The objectives set forth above are most likely to be achieved
if an effective governmental structure exists to plan for, finance,
and carry out the transfer and reuse of the base in a cooperative,
coordinated, balanced, and decisive manner.
