GOOD NEWS...The Town continues (since 2008) to have the highest possible bond rating from Standard & Poors (AAA) and (since 2010) (Aaa) from Moody's.

Recently, on 09/21/2023, Moody's reaffirmed the Town earned Moody's highest rating and, on 09/18/2023, Standard & Poors once again reaffirmed the Town earned Standard & Poors highest rating.
