 Whereas, there exist in the Commonwealth areas that include deteriorated property, high unemployment, low investment of new capital, underutilized, obsolete or abandoned industrial or commercial structures; and

 Whereas, these areas require coordinated efforts by private and public entities to restore property and enable the areas to make significant contributions to the economic and social well-being of the Commonwealth; and

 Whereas, the City Council of the City of Philadelphia has previously determined that all industrial, commercial, or other business property in the City of Philadelphia (including the property identified in Exhibit A to this Executive Order) is deteriorated property eligible for the tax abatement authorized by Philadelphia Code § 19-1303(3); and

 Whereas, the Act of December 1, 2004 (P. L. 1750, No. 226), known as the ''First Class Cities Economic Development District Act'' (the ''Act''), provides for the designation of areas as ''Economic Development Districts,'' located in a city of the first class, to provide temporary relief from certain taxes to provide long-term economic viability in these areas; and

 Whereas, section 301(b) of the Act provides that ''[o]n or before July 15, 2005, the Governor may, by executive order, propose the designation of deteriorated property within cities of the first class as economic development districts''; and

 Whereas, the Governor is promulgating this Executive Order pursuant to Section 301(b) of the Act; and

 Whereas, the Commonwealth must, in this case, make a prompt economic development decision to address and assist communities that are in vital need of improvement.
