A. The HDA shall have the power to adopt, amend and repeal regulations, not

the powers and purposes of the HDA and the conduct of its business. Such
regulations shall be designed to effectuate the general purposes of this
chapter.

state the time and place of a public hearing at which the matters mentioned
therein will be considered, at which time any person wishing to comment shall be
heard and any written comments shall be considered. Such publication shall be in
a newspaper of general circulation published in Richmond and in addition, as HDA
may determine, it may be similarly published in newspapers in localities
particularly affected as well as publicized through press releases and other
media as will best serve the purpose and subject involved.

C. If HDA is satisfied that the proposed regulation or amendments thereto or
repeal thereof, or any part thereof, in the form in which it was proposed or
changed as a result of such public hearing, provided the changes do not alter
the main purpose of the regulation, is advisable, such regulation, amendment to
or repeal of a regulation, or any part thereof, may be adopted and, if adopted,
shall be published as prescribed in subsection B of this section and shall state
