§ 38. An authority shall file with the commissioner a copy of each

proposed project embodying the plans, layout, estimated costs and

proposed method of financing. Any change made in the project shall be

filed with the commissioner by the authority. With reasonable promptness

prior to completion upon request of the commissioner, an authority shall

or a municipality without the approval of the commissioner.
