  • Industrial Revenue Bonds: For larger projects in excess of $1-$1.5 million. The issuance of tax-exempt industrial revenue bonds can save a company a substantial amount of money - interest savings of approximately 2% begin to significantly offset bond closing costs.
  • Civic Facility Revenue Bonds: For Not-for-Profit organizations that need funding for new facilities, expansion of existing facilities, or development projects.
