The Montgomery County Government Operations and Fiscal Policy Committee opened its meeting by announcing the county has been confirmed for an AAA bond rating by all three major rating agencies.
The chair read excerpts from rating agency reports, saying Moody’s highlighted the county’s “large and robust local economy” and specifically lifted up the county’s reserve policy and spending affordability guidelines as factors that support the AAA rating even amid regional uncertainty.
