By Rockland County Business Journal
NEW CITY – Fitch Ratings has upgraded Rockland County’s General Obligation Bond Rating from “AA -” to “AA+.” Those upgraded ratings mean that when the county borrows money to fund capital projects, they can do so at a lower cost, saving taxpayer dollars.
“I vowed to restore Rockland to a position of fiscal responsibility and strength; through conservative budgeting and strict fiscal discipline we have achieved that,” said County Executive Day.
He credited county employees “for their dedication and hard work that transformed Rockland into one of the fiscally strongest counties in the entire state.”
County Legislature Chairman Jay Hood Jr. said outside financial experts “verify that county government remains on the right track when it comes to managing our finances.”
