Village Board saves $1.58M by tackling debt
Erasing Debt illustration
Just like in your own family?s finances, aggressively tackling the Village?s debt means a better path for the future.
That?s why in June the Oswego Village Board decided to refund its bonds, allowing the Village to repay some of its debt at a lower interest rate. At Tuesday night?s board meeting, staff announced that the rate on the bond issuance has been locked in, and as a result, Oswego?s residents will save nearly $1.58 million over the next 15 years.
