    Further Resolved, That the committee shall especially consider the impact of these economic development projects upon the communities in which they were and are situated and whether they have succeeded in providing a net economic benefit to the community; and, be it

    Further Resolved, That the committee shall examine whether the economic development projects actually used the funds received in a manner consistent with the original proposed use of state funds; and, be it

    Further Resolved, That the committee shall consider all such information or documentation as the committee may request in order to achieve the goals of this resolution; and, be it

    Further Resolved, That the committee report to the regular session of the Legislature, 2014, on its findings, conclusions and recommendations, together with drafts of any legislation necessary to effectuate its recommendations; and, be it
