Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:

Whereas, the public facilities at Hampton Beach State Park were built in 1962, and are in disrepair; and

Whereas, the Hampton Beach State Park renovation project would result in a revitalization of the local economy, and contribute to a resurgence in tourism which is a vital industry in the state of New Hampshire; and

Whereas, there is a history of federal support of public works projects that are recognized to stimulate the economy and create employment opportunities; therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
