shall adopt a project plan for the development or redevelopment of
housing and public facilities in the proposed district.  Such
project plan may include plans for one or more projects, and the
length of any individual project shall not exceed fifteen (15)
years.  The project plan shall include, but not be limited to, the
following:
1.  The legal description and map required by subsection A of
Section 4 of this act;
2.  The existing assessed valuation of the real estate in the
proposed district, listing the land and improvement values
separately;
3.  A list of the names and addresses of the owners of record of
all real estate parcels within the proposed district;
4.  A description of the housing and public facilities project
or projects that are proposed to be constructed or improved in the
proposed district, and the location thereof;

6.  The contractual assurances, if any, the governing body has
received from such developer or developers, guaranteeing the
financial feasibility of specific housing tax incentive projects in
the proposed district; and
7.  A comprehensive analysis of the feasibility of providing
housing tax incentives in the district as provided in the Oklahoma
Rural Housing Incentive District Act, which shows that the public
benefits derived from such district will exceed the costs and that
the income therefrom, together with other sources of funding, will
be sufficient to pay for the public improvements that may be
undertaken in such district.  If other sources of public or private
funds are to be used to finance the improvements, they shall be
identified in the analysis.
B.  Prior to the adoption of the project plan and designation of
the district, the governing body shall adopt a resolution stating
that the governing body is considering such action.  The resolution
shall provide notice that a public hearing will be held to consider
the adoption of the project plan and the designation of the district
and contain the following elements:
1.  The date, hour, and place of the public hearing;
2.  The contents of paragraphs 1 through 4 of subsection A of
this section;
3.  A summary of the contractual assurances by the developer and
comprehensive feasibility analysis as specified in paragraphs 6 and
7 of subsection A of this section; and
4.  A statement that the project plan is available for
inspection at the office of the clerk of the municipality or county
during normal business hours; and
5.  A statement inviting members of the public to review the
project plan and attend the public hearing on the date announced in
the resolution.
C.  The date fixed for the public hearing shall be not less than
thirty (30) nor more than seventy (70) days following the date of
the adoption of the resolution.  The resolution shall be published
at least once in a legal newspaper of general circulation in the
municipality or county, with the final publication being not less
than one (1) week or more than two (2) weeks preceding the date
fixed for the public hearing.
D.  A certified copy of the resolution shall be delivered to the
planning commission of the municipality or county and the board of
any school district levying taxes on property within the proposed
district.  If the resolution is adopted by a municipal governing
body, a certified copy also shall be delivered to the board of

county commissioners of the county.  If the resolution is adopted by
a county governing body, it also shall be delivered to the governing
body of any municipality located within three (3) miles of such
proposed district.
