It is further recognized that cities, villages and towns have broad power to act for the commercial benefit and the health, safety and public welfare of the public.

It is therefore declared to be the policy of this state to promote the right to gainful employment, business opportunities and general welfare of the its inhabitants thereof and to preserve and enhance the tax base by authorizing municipalities to acquire industrial buildings and to finance such the acquisition through the issuance of revenue bonds for the purpose of fulfilling the aims of this section and such. These purposes are hereby declared to be public purposes for which public money may be spent and the necessity in the public interest for the provisions herein enacted of this section is declared a matter of legislative determination.
