Montgomery County, Ohio in Sound Financial Shape
Dayton, OH (PRWEB) October 26, 2013 -- Montgomery County is pleased to announce that it has received positive ratings from two of the leading bond rating agencies. Montgomery County's Various Purpose General Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 2013 was assigned an Aa1 rating from Moody's Investors Service.
