The chairman of the corporation shall annually, on or before December first, make and deliver to the governor and director of the budget his certificate stating the sum, if any, required to be paid to each municipality and political subdivision by reason of tax exemptions for industrial projects received pursuant to section twenty-two of this act, and the sum or sums so certified, if any, shall be apportioned and paid to each such municipality and political subdivision, as provided herein. Such apportionment and payment shall also be made to each municipality and political subdivision in which is located real property of the corporation as to which no project findings have been made by the corporation, pursuant to section ten hereof, and the chairman of the corporation shall certify the sums required to be paid in respect of such real property, and the state shall apportion and pay such sums, if any, in the manner provided herein.
