Table of Contents Sec. 22-450. Short title: Connecticut Equestrian Center Authority Act. Sections 22-450 to 22-452, inclusive, and section 4 of public act 95-231* shall be known
and may be cited as the "Connecticut Equestrian Center Authority Act". Sec. 22-451. Legislative finding. It is hereby found and declared that a Connecticut Equestrian Center located in Keney Park in the capital city of this state will attract
a significant share of equestrian events, thereby promoting the economic development
of the state, increasing tourism by creating a nationally competitive center which will
attract regional, national and international equestrian events and promoting business
activity and employment in hotels, restaurants and recreational and support facilities.
It is further found and declared that preliminary economic feasibility analyses respecting
the planning for a new equestrian center in Hartford have shown that new spending by
visitors to anticipated horse shows should generate an increase in revenues to the state
from taxes on dollars spent by visitors and exhibitors of equine activities, and that this
project will recapture Connecticut-based equestrian show activities currently being diverted to other states for the lack of a modern equine center, thereby improving the
state's economy and increasing the state's tax revenues, promote equestrian activities
for the enjoyment and health of Connecticut's citizens and provide a center which can
assist in the advancement of Connecticut's husbandry industries through research and
educational programs. Sec. 22-452. Connecticut Equestrian Center Authority. Section 22-452 is repealed, effective July 1, 1998.
