February 23, 2021 By Paige Locknane

Brownsville, Oregon (February 2021) – The City of Brownsville announces the refinancing of an Oregon Economic and Community Development Department loan. The original note proceeds were used for repairs to the city’s wastewater system to reduce inflow and infiltration, install a force main to allow the transfer of wastewater from the north treatment unit, construct dichlorination facilities and other various system-wide improvements. The refinancing reduced the interest rate by almost half, resulting in tens of thousands of dollars in savings for the city and its constituents. Government Capital Corporation, Southlake, Texas provided the financing as well as the feasibility analysis. Jim Shannon of Mersereau Shannon LLP, Portland, Oregon provided the documentation and legal review.
