This presentation will review the process of borrowing for school construction projects beginning with the initial application for MSBA approval and the authorization of school construction bonds, through the sale and delivery of bonds for this purpose. Our discussion will review options to consider and requirements needed to be satisfied before any debt can be issued. We will review the factors to be considered in the development of a plan of finance for the project that suits the specific needs of the issuer, including budgetary impact, tax impact, whether to borrow short or long term, legal requirements needed to be satisfied, estimates of debt service costs and market conditions, timing factors, estimates of MSBA reimbursement, disclosure requirements, credit considerations, and more, to name the basics.
