Pursuant to SDCL §11-9-4, the City Council hereby  18424 declares the necessity to form the District in the City of Aberdeen as such district contains property not less than 25% by area of which is blighted because of faulty layout deterioration, lack of attention and general unrepaired and unattended normal wear and tear and lack of usage in relationship to size, adequacy, accessibility, and usefulness in that such area significantly and substantially impairs or arrests the solid growth of that area of the City and constitutes an economic liability in its general present condition and use and that further, the improvement of the area is likely to enhance significantly the value of substantially all other real property within the area and immediately adjacent thereto, and if such district is created that there is likelihood that the district will stimulate and develop the general economic welfare and prosperity of the state and the City through the promotion and advancement of rental housing development in the district enhancing the area and improving the tax base of the City of Aberdeen. 2.
