City Bond Ratings Confirm Chandler Is a Stable Destination for Private Investment ::
The City of Chandler is regarded as one of the most stable destinations for private sector capital investment in the United States. For years, this financial success has been evidenced by the City's high bond ratings from each of the three major credit rating agencies.
In November, the City received good news when these agencies reaffirmed their current ratings for the City's Excise Tax Revenue Obligations (ETROs), which will be used to fund various water and wastewater capital projects.
All three agencies assigned a "Stable" outlook to Chandler's financial position.
In their reports, the agencies praised Chandler's conservative fiscal management and policies - including low debt and sound reserves - which enable the City to maintain strong financial flexibility. The community's highly educated and skilled workforce, growing employment base, low unemployment, and household income and wealth trends that are well above state and national averages, all position the City for ongoing growth.
"Retaining our high ratings is excellent news and shows that City leaders have put strong fiscal policies in place and that we are committed to maintaining fiscal discipline," said Chandler Mayor Jay Tibshraeny. "We are a community with great diversity, outstanding amenities, and a balanced and flexible financial plan for the future. Investors and business leaders can be confident that an investment in Chandler is a smart decision."
