§ 116. Authorization to participate. Before any municipality shall
participate in a joint project pursuant to this article, it shall
authorize such participation by taking the same procedural steps which
it would be required to take if it proposed to effectuate such
improvements itself. Other municipalities may be permitted to
participate in the joint project by making a lump sum contribution in
such amount and such manner as the original participating municipalities
may determine. Necessary funds for such contribution may be raised in
the manner provided in the local finance law.
