Chesterfield maintains triple-AAA bond rating
Chesterfield County announced last week that it recently had its triple-AAA bond rating reaffirmed.
Moody’s, Fitch Ratings and Standard & Poor’s have all awarded Chesterfield AAA credit ratings. Chesterfield chalked up its high marks from the country’s top three rating agencies to its strong financial management and a diverse economy.
“This recent review gives the community comfort that our fiscal health and budget plans remain strong despite some of the rough economic waters we have encountered,” County Administrator Joe Casey said in a prepared statement.
The ratings mean the county can borrow money for capital projects at the lowest interest rates offered. Chesterfield has received a triple-AAA rating annually since 1997.
