The Agency will hold a public hearing at 10:00 a.m. on November 21, 2019 in the conference room of the Agency’s offices located at 3508 Bush Street in Raleigh, North Carolina. At the public hearing, any person may be heard regarding the proposed plan of financing and issuance of tax-exempt bonds.
The Agency will consider the information obtained at the public hearing and take action that it may deem warranted. Action will include submission of a transcript of the hearing to the Governor of the State of North Carolina, or any other elected State official designated by the Governor or by State law, who must approve or disapprove the tax-exempt bond issue pursuant to Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It is the intention of the Agency to issue these tax-exempt bonds from time to time in 2020.
