(4) It is desirable and in the public interest that
these conditions be eliminated and corrected and that an
economical and modern method of marketing wholesale food in the
State of Maryland be established by the construction of a modern,
sanitary, and accessible market, that may include:
(i) Warehouse facilities used by wholesalers or
retailers principally__engaged in the sale of food and used for
storage of food and beverages and such nonfood products as may be
sold from time to time in connection with the sale of food at
retail; and
(ii) Any ancillary or other appurtenant
facilities that the Authority determines to be advisable in order
to enhance the public convenience or public attractiveness of the
market, including but not limited to parking or other
transportation facilities, restaurants, shops, stores, banks, or
other commercial enterprises generally.
(5) THERE EXISTS A NEED AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO
CAPITALIZE ON THE VAST RESOURCES OF FINFISH AND SHELLFISH THAT
CAN BE FOUND OFF MARYLAND'S COASTAL WATERS; DEVELOPMENT OF THE
SEAFOOD INDUSTRY ON THE EASTERN SHORE WILL COULD PROVIDE AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR THE STATE TO CAPITALIZE ON THESE RESOURCES, WILL
COULD CREATE NEW JOBS, AND WILL COULD PRODUCE OTHER ECONOMIC
BENEFITS TO THE STATE; A CENTRALIZED SEAFOOD PARK IS NECESSARY
FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THESE RESOURCES AND THE ENSUING ECONOMIC
BENEFITS; THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PARK AND THESE RESOURCES IS
WOULD BE IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST AND CAN BEST BE ACCOMPLISHED
THROUGH THE MARYLAND FOOD CENTER AUTHORITY.
[(5)] (6) It appears that sufficient revenue will be
derived from the operation of the market AND PARK to amortize the
cost thereof within a reasonable period, and it is therefore
deemed proper that__the development of the market AND PARK be
defrayed insofar as practicable by the issuance of bonds payable
solely from the revenue derived from market AND PARK operations;
but it may be necessary that a part of said bonds bear the full
faith and credit of the State of Maryland.
412.
(b) The Authority [consist] CONSISTS of 12 members, all of
whom shall be citizens of the State, one of whom shall be a
resident of Howard County, and three of whom shall be members of

created by Chapter 662 of the Laws of Maryland of 1955, as
amended by Chapter 845 of the Laws of Maryland of 1957. The
Director of Agricultural Extension, State of Maryland, the
Comptroller of the State, the Secretary of Agriculture, and the
