AI Summary

The inter-municipal agreement must address a range of issues, including establishing a buffer zone, evaluating alternative options, considering the needs of nearby communities, and setting forth procedures for cooperative planning and dispute resolution. The agreement must be approved by the legislative bodies and chief executive officers of the participating municipalities, and then must be approved by the state legislature and governor before the construction project can begin.
