City Receives AAA Rating

The City recently refinanced two existing bond issues, securing a AAA bond rating from Standard and Poor’s (S&P) Global Ratings. This is the highest possible rating, which is directly related to the City’s financial strength, strong liquidity, and financial policies. The City will save over $3 million due to lower interest rates.
