CITY OF BROWNSVILLE ANNOUNCES REFINANCE SAVINGS

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.

“The staff at Government Capital provided timely responses to our questions as well as met our timeline for the required closing,” commented Scott McDowell, Brownsville City Administrator. “Their experience and expertise financing municipal notes was invaluable.”

“This is a great example of municipal fiscal leadership. It was an honor and privilege to work with Mr. McDowell,” stated Jana Offutt, Client Services, Government Capital Corporation. “We take great pride in assisting state and local governments meet their goals and objectives.”
