1. Acquire any real property or interest therein for a project or projects unless the supervising agency and the local legislative body determine as provided in this article that such acquisition is necessary or convenient for the public purpose defined in this article, and unless any deed, lease or other instrument by which such real property or interest therein is acquired contains a statement that the conveyance is to a redevelopment company organized pursuant to article five of the private housing finance law.
2. Create its capital, or issue its debentures and and bonds covering any project undertaken by it in an amount greater in the aggregate than the total actual final cost of such project.
