      the financial  assistance  that  the  authority  is  contemplating  with
      respect  to  such  project. Such assistance shall be consistent with the
      uniform  tax  exemption  policy  adopted  by  the  agency  pursuant   to
      subdivision  one  of  section  nineteen  hundred  sixty-three-a  of this
      chapter, unless the agency has followed procedures  for  deviation  from
      such policy specified in subdivision two of such section.
        2.  The  authority  must  hold  a  public  hearing with respect to the
      project and the proposed financial assistance being contemplated by  the
      authority.  At said public hearing, interested parties shall be provided
      reasonable opportunity, both orally and in  writing,  to  present  their
      views with respect to the project.
        3.  The authority must give at least ten days published notice of said
      public hearing and shall, at the  same  time,  provide  notice  of  such
      hearing  to the chief executive officer of the affected tax jurisdiction
      within which the project is located. The notice of  hearing  must  state
      the  time  and  place  of  the  hearing,  contain  a general, functional
      description of the project, describe the  prospective  location  of  the
      project,  identify the initial owner, operator or manager of the project
      and generally describe the  financial  assistance  contemplated  by  the
      authority with respect to the project.
