Financing
Our team has a proven track record of identifying and securing grant funding and low-interest loans for qualified projects. We have also been instrumental in establishing and managing assessment districts and related funding programs as well as facilitating bond sales and other viable funding mechanisms for water and wastewater utilities. The ability to apply for and secure favorable financing is supported by developing effective planning programs, asset management plans, and related documents in advance coupled with an understanding of how amortized costs will affect the long-term rates of customers over time. In recent years our team has secured close to $30 million in a combination of 100% grant funding and low-interest loans.
Our team can work effectively with a given agency by quickly assessing current debt service, water rates, and capital improvement project (CIP) budgets to identify opportunities for long-term financing and, depending in part on median household income, 100% grant funding for select projects.
