The legislature further finds that where such facilities have been relocated within the state, from brownfields to such greenfields or farmlands, that such relocation often leads to severe fiscal problems in those communities from which such facilities have been relocated includ- ing loss of tax revenue and employment opportunities in such communi- ties. The legislature further finds that the use or reuse of abandoned, vacated, idled or under used industrial and commercial facility sites (hereafter referred to in this section as "class 2 brownfield sites") and especially such of those sites where expansion, use, reuse or rede- velopment is complicated by real or perceived environmental contam- EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
