Press release from the Town of North Hempstead:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 4, 2021

North Hempstead, NY – North Hempstead Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth and the Town Board announced today that the independent Wall Street bond rating agency Moody's Investors Service has assigned a Aaa rating to the Town’s $12.9 million Public Improvement Serial Bonds (2021 Series A). This is the highest rating provided by Moody’s.

Moody’s also maintained a Aaa rating on the Town’s outstanding general obligation limited tax (GOLT), with a stable outlook. This represents the 10th consecutive instance in which the Town has maintained its Aaa bond rating with Moody’s since becoming a Aaa bond rated municipality in March of 2017.

Moody’s stated: “The stable outlook reflects the town's conservative fiscal management practices, which will support continued healthy operating performance and maintenance of a strong financial position.”

“We appreciate Moody’s once again recognizing the Town’s hard work in maintaining a fiscally conservative budget, while still ensuring outstanding services for residents,” said Supervisor Bosworth. “Ultimately, this will result in benefits and savings for our taxpayers.”
