With this chapter, the general assembly intends to establish a comprehensive growth policy for this state that:
- Eliminates annexation or incorporation out of fear;
- Establishes incentives to annex or incorporate where appropriate;
- More closely matches the timing of development and the provision of public services;
- Stabilizes each county’s education funding base and establishes an incentive for each county legislative body to be more interested in education matters; and
- Minimizes urban sprawl.
