Council weighs funding options for a new police station
FRONT ROYAL Virginian reports Town Council reviews two financing paths for a roughly $10 million police facility. A New Market Tax Credit plan would borrow $11 million at 3.25 percent for 20 years with seven years of interest and 30 percent loan forgiveness, followed by refinancing, potentially raising annual costs to about $526,000 and total $12 million amid possible tax law changes. A conventional 30 year bank loan at 2.65 percent would start with interest only then principal, totaling over $16.6 million. Real estate taxes could rise by 1 cent for 2019 2020 and 2021 and 0.3 cents in 2022. The council seeks more data and considers zero interest options from enterprise funds.
