Moody's Investors Service Rating on 18 Million General Obligation Tax Anticipation Note 2011

July 27, 2011: The Rockingham County Board of Commissioners is pleased to announce that Rockingham County has earned a MIG1 Rating by Moody’s Investors Service to Rockingham County’s 18 million dollar general obligation tax anticipation note for 2011.  Each year Rockingham County borrows funds in anticipation of the county tax receipts paid by the towns and city in the county each December.  Moody’s cited satisfactory cash flow projections, healthy financial position, and low direct burden debt as facets in the rating issued.  This excellent rating resulted in a low interest rate of 1% with a 0.206% coupon rate.  Our financial advisor noted that this is the lowest interest rate ever given to the county, which is a reflection of market confidence in the county.   Rockingham County’s prudent financial planning and strong budgeting efforts are a direct result of this rating and interest rate.
