N.Y. Port of Albany Law § 10
After estimates of the cost of any improvement or improvements by the commission under this act shall have been made and after the apportionment, or any revision or apportionment, covering any such improvement or improvements shall have become final, as provided in this act, whereby the proportions to be paid by the real estate in the several municipalities shall have been determined, the commission may provide moneys for construction of such improvements, in an amount not exceeding such estimated cost. Any judicial review of such final apportionment by the commission, however, shall not delay or prevent the commencement of construction work. Bonds or notes of the district shall not be construed in any event as obligations of the state, and the state shall not be obligated to pay the principal or interest, or either.
