Arlington Select Board Approves Bonds at Competitive Rates, Honors ALS Awareness and Volunteer Bob Rua

The Arlington Select Board opened its April 28 meeting by locking in borrowing costs on two debt issuances — a $7 million bond anticipation note at 2.46% and a $3,180,000 20-year general obligation bond at 2.824% — rates that Treasurer Lynn Gallagher and board members credited to the town's top-tier credit ratings and the outcome of the recent Proposition 2½ override vote (a $14.8 million operating override approved by voters in March).
