The proposed resolution titled "National Community Reinvestment Coalition, Inc., Revenue Bonds Project Emergency Approval Resolution of 2025" seeks the Council of the District of Columbia's approval to issue up to $88 million in tax-exempt revenue bonds. These funds will be utilized by the National Community Reinvestment Coalition, Inc. to refinance existing debt related to the acquisition, construction, furnishing, and equipping of an 11-floor office building located at 740 15th Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. The resolution emphasizes that the bonds will not constitute a debt or obligation of the District, ensuring that the District's financial resources and credit are not at risk.
The resolution is presented as an emergency measure due to current economic uncertainties in the financial markets, which necessitate expedited approval to avoid delays that could hinder the Borrower's ability to secure favorable interest rates. By facilitating the prompt issuance of these bonds, the Council aims to provide critical funding for the project, thereby enabling its completion and maximizing savings for the Borrower. The resolution is intended to be adopted after a single reading, allowing for immediate effect upon approval.
