The Town Council is making further progress on reducing bond debt for the community facilities district at the StoneRidge subdivision.
Meeting as the StoneRidge CFD board, the council voted 5-0 Thursday for a resolution to refinance the original $14.8 million bond from 2001.
The refinanced bonds would extend the existing bond, which expires in 2026, until 2030 while lowering the interest rate from about 7 to 4 percent. The current bond debt exceeds $18.1 million, and includes more than $7 million in interest.
Refinancing the bond debt would be good news for the homeowners, who have been paying a secondary property rate to pay of a bond that financed a bridge and other public improvements in StoneRidge.
