(2) a general description of the improvements to be constructed or installed within and for the authority;

(3) an estimated overall cost of the proposed improvements to be constructed or installed within and for the authority;

(4) an estimated time table for the completion of all intended improvements;

(5) the need for the creation of the district and the construction or installation of improvements, stating the nature and extent of the anticipated use of the improvements by persons presently residing on land within the authority, and the nature and extent of the anticipated use of the improvements due to future development;

(6) a general description of the boundaries of the authority or the territory to be included within the authority, with such certainty as to enable a property owner to determine whether or not his property is within the authority;
