        463C.3  LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS.         1.  The establishment of the Honey creek premier destination park      bond program and Honey creek premier destination park authority is in      all respects for the benefit of the people of the state of Iowa, for      the improvement of their health and welfare, and for the promotion of      the economy, which are public purposes.         2.  The authority will be performing an essential governmental      function in the exercise of the powers and duties conferred upon it      by this chapter.         3.  The authority will assist in the establishment of the Honey      creek premier destination park in the state which will provide      important recreational and economic benefits to the state.         4.  Current efforts to develop the Honey creek premier destination      park in the state have fallen short and the creation of an authority      which has the mission of engaging and assisting in these efforts will      increase the likelihood of reaching the desired goal.         5.  It is necessary to create the Honey creek premier destination      park bond program and authority to encourage the investment of      private capital to stimulate the development and construction of the      park including lodges, campgrounds, cabins, and golf courses through      the use of public financing, and to this extent it is the public      policy of this state to support the Honey creek premier destination      park bond program in the procurement of necessary moneys for deposit      into the Honey creek premier destination park bond fund.
