Section 19:65-2.7 - Public hearing

(a) In considering whether a particular project shall be an approved project, the Authority shall conduct in the jurisdiction of the local government unit in which the project is located such hearings as may be necessary or appropriate to determine whether the project satisfies the standards, criteria and guidelines set forth in the Act and these rules. The Authority may conduct such hearings directly or the Chairman may designate one member of the Authority, the Executive Director or any Authority employee to preside at the hearing. Unless required by law, such hearings shall be conducted as non-adversarial, informational proceedings and shall not be considered "contested cases" within the meaning of P.L. 1968, c.410, as amended (N.J.S.A. 52:14B-1 et seq.). The fees and costs of such hearings, including the cost of any transcript, shall be borne by the applicant.

(b) The Authority shall give notice of any hearing at least 15 days before the date of the hearing by publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the municipality in which the project will be located, by posting a notice at the Authority's office and by delivering a copy of the notice to the clerk of the municipality in which the project will be located, the applicant and any other interested party. The notice shall include the time and place of the hearing, the names and addresses of the parties involved in the project and a brief description of the project. The Authority shall not be obligated to provide notice of any adjournment or adjournments of any scheduled hearing so long as it gives notice, as provided by these rules, of the new hearing date.
