Two weeks after the TEFRA notice is published, a hearing is conducted at the office of the Authority to offer a venue for interested members of the public to express their views regarding the issuance of the transaction and the nature of the improvements and projects for which the financing funds will be allocated.
Persons who wish to make a brief statement during the hearing regarding the projects must give prior notice in writing to the Authority no later than twenty-four (24) hours prior to the hearing. Written comments can be submitted and CHEFA requires that they must be postmarked no later than five (5) days prior to the hearing date.
Minutes of the TEFRA meeting are prepared following the close of the hearing period and will include any materials provided by the members of the public that may have made statements, and any written comments received for the meeting.
