(a) The General Assembly finds that the State must have Just Communities in order to:
(1) affirmatively advance equity, civil rights, racial justice, and equal opportunity in the State;
(2) create opportunities for the improvement of communities that have been historically underserved, with anticipated benefits for the entire State; and
(3) right the wrongs of the past, when the State systematically excluded certain groups from equal participation in the benefits of public resources.
