2011 Bond Issuance
2011 Economic Development Authority Lease-Revenue Bond Issuance
On September 13, 2011, the Board of Supervisors approved the issuance of up to $13.5 million in Economic Development Authority (EDA) Lease-Revenue Bonds for purchase of the Community Development/Social Services building; replacement equipment for solid waste operations; and technology upgrades. On September 22, the EDA also approved the sale of EDA bonds for County capital projects.
Bonds totaling $11.3 million were sold on September 27 at a blended “all-in” interest cost of 3.16%. The County purchased the building at 9019 Old Battlefield Boulevard on September 28. This building had been rented by the County for approximately one year to house Community Development and Social Services offices. Purchase of the facility was originally planned for FY 2014, but favorable terms agreements were available with the seller if purchase occurred in September 2011, thereby saving taxpayers $1.5 million in principal and interest costs.
