Dock and Wharf Bond
Description
The Tri-County River Valley Development Authority (TRVDA) acts as the issuer of the bonds, passing its DOUBLE tax-exempt status on to “exempt facilities” for certain type of projects to finance a building project or other capital project. These exempt facilities include Docks and Wharfs. The project can include the acquisition of fixed assets including land, buildings, and equipment. Because the interest on the bonds is not subject to state or federal income taxes, investors and lenders require a lower interest rate to achieve an equivalent after-tax return. Therefore, the borrower receives a preferential interest rate, generating substantial savings.
