  purposes is in all respects for the benefit of the people of  the  state
  of  New  York  and  for  the  improvement  of  their health, welfare and
  prosperity and is a public purpose,  and  that  the  authority  will  be

§ 1299-ss. Agreements relating to payment in lieu of taxes. To the end
  that  municipal  corporations,  counties  and  school  districts may not
  suffer undue loss of taxes or assessments:
If the authority acquires  property  for  non-transportation  purposes
  (e.g.  for  future  transportation  purposes  but  not  to  be  so  used
  immediately) the authority except as hereinafter provided, shall pay  to
  the  participating county and/or city, town or school district where the
  property is located, annually, in lieu of taxes, a sum equal to the  sum
  last  paid  as  taxes  upon  the  property  prior  to  the  time  of its
  acquisition by the authority.   Should  such  property  be  subsequently
  developed  and  improved  but  still  remain  unused  for transportation
  purposes, it shall during such period of disuse  for  transportation  be
  subject   to   assessment,  at  the  prevailing  method  of  determining
  assessments, by the county and/or city and/or school  district  and  the
  authority  shall,  based on such assessment, annually, in lieu of taxes,
  pay to the county and/or city and/or school district an amount fixed  by
  it.
If  the  authority  acquires  property for transportation purposes but
  subsequently uses such property for  non-transportation  purposes,  then
  the  authority shall be required, except as hereinafter provided, to pay
  annually in lieu of taxes to the participating county and/or city and/or
  school district wherein such property is located, an amount equal to the
  sum which the said county  and/or  city  and/or  school  district  would
  ordinarily  be  imposed  as  taxes, pursuant to the prevailing method of
  determining assessments.
Properties acquired by the authority for transportation  and  used  as
  such,  shall  not be subject to the payment of any taxes except that the
  authority shall pay such property special  benefit  assessments  on  the
  property if it is located in an existing special benefit district.

  (e.g.  for  future  transportation  purposes  but  not  to  be  so  used
  immediately)  the authority except as hereinafter provided, shall pay to
  the participating county and/or city, town or school district where  the
  property  is located, annually, in lieu of taxes, a sum equal to the sum
  last paid  as  taxes  upon  the  property  prior  to  the  time  of  its
  acquisition  by  the  authority.  Should  such  property be subsequently
  developed and  improved  but  still  remain  unused  for  transportation
  purposes,  it  shall  during such period of disuse for transportation be
  subject  to  assessment,  at  the  prevailing  method   of   determining
  assessments,  by  the  county and/or city and/or school district and the
  authority shall, based on such assessment, annually, in lieu  of  taxes,
  pay  to the county and/or city and/or school district an amount fixed by
  it.
If the authority acquires property  for  transportation  purposes  but
  subsequently  uses  such  property for non-transportation purposes, then
  the authority shall be required, except as hereinafter provided, to  pay
  annually in lieu of taxes to the participating county and/or city and/or
  school district wherein such property is located, an amount equal to the
  sum  which  the  said  county  and/or  city and/or school district would
  ordinarily be imposed as taxes, pursuant to  the  prevailing  method  of
  determining assessments.
Properties  acquired  by  the authority for transportation and used as
  such, shall not be subject to the payment of any taxes except  that  the
  authority  shall  pay  such  property special benefit assessments on the
  property if it is located in an existing special benefit district.

  notes  may,  among  other  things,  be  issued  to provide moneys to pay
  preliminary costs of surveys, plans or other  matters  relating  to  any
  proposed  project.  The  authority  may  pledge  such moneys or revenues
  (subject to any other pledge thereof) for the payment of the  notes  and

  effect as herein provided for bonds. Such notes may be renewed from time
  to time but such notes, including the renewals thereof, shall mature not
  later than three years from the date upon which such notes  are  issued.

  restrictions as to price and interest rate as  bonds,  except  that  the
  board  may  determine  the  manner in which such notes shall be sold. In
  case of default on its notes, or violation of any of the obligations  of
  the  authority  to  the  noteholders, the noteholders shall have all the
  remedies provided herein for bondholders.
