Summary

The bill creates a specific definition for “industrial city” based on population, land area, land use and daytime workforce. Cities that meet those criteria are automatically considered industrial cities for any state program, policy, or funding formula that references the definition. It does not change a city’s legal status, zoning authority, or require residential development.
