Press Release
- April 23, 2010 |
| For the third time
since 2001, Bell County's Credit Rating has been upgraded by Standards and
Poors Credit Rating Agency. In 2001, the County Bond Rating was
increased from A to AA-. In 2008, it was further upgraded to AA.
This week, Bell County's Bond Rating was increased to AA+.
Out of 254 Counties in Texas, 6 of the largest counties have the AAA rating. Bell County joins only 6 other Texas Counties that have the AA+ rating. "During these economic times, it is rewarding to
see the strong financial performance and conservative budgeting practices of
Bell County recognized by Standards and Poors," said Jon Burrows, Bell
County Judge. "This ratings increase will save taxpayers thousands of
dollars in interest due to the attractive interest rates now available to
Bell County." |
