Hanover’s Perspective
Hanover County Receives 3rd AAA Bond Rating from Moody’s
Moody's Financial Service, one of the three major municipal bond ratings agencies in the U.S., has upgraded Hanover County to a AAA rating, the highest possible. Hanover was already rated AAA by Fitch Ratings and Standard & Poor's, making Hanover County one of a small number of county governments nationwide with 'Triple-AAA' bond ratings. “This is a great day for Hanover County,” said Board of Supervisors Chairman Ed Via. “There is a very short list of counties our size that have been able to achieve two AAA bond ratings, let alone three. I think it testifies to the fact that we have been very conservative with the taxpayers' money and very sound with all of our financial policies.”
