Not-For-Profit Bond Financing

Description

The Tri-County River Valley Development Authority (TRVDA) acts as the issuer of the bonds, passing its DOUBLE Tax-Exempt status on to a Not-For-Profit 501(c) (3) company to finance the acquisition of fixed assets including land, buildings, machinery 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.
