With Pittsburgh poised to float more than $55 million in new bonds for its 2021 capital improvement projects, city council members Wednesday heard from the city’s finance director about interest rates reaching historic lows. Council member discussed the potential to borrow even more to pay for affordable housing projects.
The expected interest rate when the bonds are issued in March will be slightly less than the 2.5% rate for the city’s 2020 bond issue of about $50 million. “This is a good time for us to borrow,” said Douglas Anderson, the city’s finance director.
