An AA bond rating sounds like financial jargon — but stick with us, because this one actually puts money back in your pocket.
Here’s the thing most people don’t know: every time a municipality needs to borrow money for a big project, they go to the market just like anyone applying for a loan. And just like a personal loan, your credit score determines your rate. The better your rating, the less you pay in interest.
Bordentown’s AA rating puts us in elite company. And this year, it showed up in a very real way — we saved approximately $600,000 in interest during our bond sales. That’s money that stays here, in this town, working for you instead of lining a bank’s pockets.
That kind of saving doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because for years this township has made disciplined, responsible financial decisions — even when it wasn’t easy.
We think you deserve to know that.
