Edison bond rates save taxpayer dollars
Last night school board members approved Resolution #2-2007, Award of bond bids to fund the Edison construction project.
The district sold bonds to fund the Edison construction project at a fixed interest rate just over four percent, which means Walla Walla taxpayers will pay less than originally projected to fund the project.A low interest rate also mean the bonds will be repaid in 11 years -- two years earlier than projected during the time of the bond election, according to Business Manager Aron Rauschs report.
Funds will be available to the district May 1.
