The sale consists of $40 million of Series 2025 A general obligation bonds and $68.5 million of Series 2025 B general obligation bonds.
The Series 2025 A bonds mature on Sept. 1 from 2025 through 2049. The Series 2025 B bonds mature on Sept. 1 from 2025 through 2044. Interest rates and yields have not yet been set. The sale date is set for April 29.
Money from the sale will be used for the construction of parks and recreation capital improvement projects in Charleston, including a new year-round aquatic center and improvements at Stephen Washington Park. Proceeds will also be used to purchase land for parks and recreation projects.
The bonds are payable from a tax to be levied upon all taxable property in the city.
Charleston is a major coastal city, and is the principal seaport of South Carolina, according to the offering document.
The securities have been rated Aaa by Moody's and AAA by S&P Global Ratings.
