Proceeds from the bonds will be used to finance or refinance capital expenditures related to facilities in Ohio, South Carolina and Virginia; to refund certain previously issued bonds; and to pay issuance costs, according to documents posted on MuniOS.

All Series 2025A bonds are fixed rate, while the 2025B issuance is made up of term rate bonds.
