Section 2705. Special powers with regard to planning

The authority shall
  prepare or cause to be prepared a report on the impact of the  expansion
  of the Fort Drum Military Reservation on existing projects and community
  facilities within the participating counties. Based upon the findings of
  such  report, the authority shall prepare or cause to be prepared a plan
  for the development or  construction  of  projects,  including  projects
  defined  in title one of article eighteen-A of the general municipal law
  which the authority intends to finance or assist in  the  financing  of,
  and  community  facilities  necessary  to meet the needs of individuals,
  business enterprises, and governmental  facilities,  including  military
  facilities  within  the participating counties. In formulating such plan
  or plans, the authority shall consult and cooperate  with  the  planning
  authorities in the area of its operations. The authority may request and
  use existing studies, plans, surveys, data and other materials completed
  by  or  under  development  by  any  state  agency  or municipality. The
  authority shall file copies of such plan with the common council of  the
  city of Watertown and the county legislatures or board of supervisors of
  the  participating  counties  and the governing body of any municipality
  within  the  participating  counties  affected  by  such  plan  and  any
  authorities  or industrial development agencies within the participating
  county if such entity is substantially affected by the plan in  relation
  to its property or projects. The plan or plans shall contain information
  regarding  the  facilities  that  the  authority  intends  to provide or
  proposes be provided  by  other  means  and  information  regarding  the
  services the authority contemplates providing or proposes be provided by
  other  means  and  the  estimated  costs  and  the  proposed  method  of
  financing. During sixty days after the filing of  any  plan,  said  plan
  shall be available for public inspection at the office or offices of the
  authority  and  at  such  other places in the areas affected, within the
  participating counties, as the authority may designate. Not earlier than
  thirty days after the filing of said plan, a public hearing on said plan
  shall be held by the authority. Notice of such a hearing shall be  given
  to the legislative bodies and affected entities aforesaid by publication
  once  a  week  for  two  weeks prior to the said hearing at the time and
  place fixed by the authority in newspapers of general circulation within
  the  areas  affected,  to  be  selected  by  the  authority.  The   last
  publication  date  shall not be less than five days before said hearing.
  Any amendments that the authority may adopt to the plan shall be adopted
  only after complying with the filing  notice  and  hearing  requirements
  provided  for in this section. Within thirty days following the adoption
  of any plan or amendments, the authority shall provide a  copy  of  such
  plan  or  amendments  of  such  hearing  to  the  legislative bodies and
