Case Study

Piney Creek Village
Metropolitan District

Significant Savings Realized

SDMS staff diligently worked on a refinancing (in 2015) of the District’s 2005 bonds which required a change in jurisdiction venue along with an amendment to the District’s Service Plan.  These efforts resulted in $139,832 annual net present value savings to the residents and taxpayers of the District.  The approval of the amendment to the Service Plan was an essential component for the District to obtain a fixed rate loan of 2.68 % – significantly lower than the 5.5% interest rate of its 2005 Bonds.
