Saving Your Money
|
As the fall semester ended, the College refinanced part of the 2003 Capital Improvement Bond funds resulting in a $2.6 million savings for College District taxpayers. This advanced refunding of $36 million in bond funds was made possible in part by the College's good financial ratings of AA+ with Fitch, Aa2 with Moody's and AA with Standard and Poor's financial firms.
