Established in 1985, with the assistance of the Indiana General Assembly, the City of Indianapolis established the Indianapolis Local Public Improvement Bond Bank, the first municipal bond bank in the country. The Bond Bank is a municipal corporation that serves as the debt issuance and management arm of the City of Indianapolis and related “Qualified Entities.” These entities include special taxing districts, political subdivisions, and building/leasing authorities. Since its inception, the Indianapolis Local Public Improvement Bond Bank has issued nearly $13 billion in bonds and notes on behalf of various Qualified Entities of the City of Indianapolis and Marion County. The Bond Bank`s structure allows for the centralized management and supervision of all debt issued by governmental entities throughout Marion County. By coordinating all locally-issued debt, including general obligation and revenue bonds, the Bond Bank provides leadership and guidance through the capital markets and the sale of municipal bonds and other debt instruments. For example, the Bond Bank coordinates the timing of all city and Qualified Entity bond sales. The Bond Bank also maintains relationships and regular communications with representatives from the national credit rating agencies and assists with securing ratings when necessary and providing frequent updates to the agencies on the City`s economy, employment figures, major developments, and the annual budget and audit process. The Bond Bank actively monitors local and national bond markets, as well as financial and economic trends that impact bond issuance structures, timing, and interest rates.

Over the past several decades, Washington County has built a strong, diverse economic base. Taking advantage of a good work force, competitive wage scale, and business-friendly policies, the county has developed several solid pillars that leave it with relatively low unemployment. These pillars include health care, government, and services ranging from retail and residential construction to call centers. At the same time, the county has continued to successfully recruit and retain a core of industrial employers that offer quality jobs. All these factors — along with the area`s outstanding quality of life — are evidenced by 2010 Census data showing Washington County`s 15 percent growth rate during the last decade — the state`s highest growth rate east of the greater Knoxville area.
