Maricopa received top marks from one of the nation’s biggest credit rating agencies.  

Fitch Ratings in New York City upgraded the city’s default rating last week from AA to AA+ — or a 9.6 on a scale of 10 — based on the city’s economic and residential growth, as well as its “budgetary flexibility.” This earned Maricopa the compliment of showing “financial resilience” from the agency.
