Baltimore Co. maintains triple A bond rating

Baltimore County maintained its triple A bond rating from the three major rating agencies — Moody's, Fitch, and Standard & Poor's — county officials announced at week's end, as reported by the Maryland Daily Record.

Fewer than 1 percent of all counties in the U.S. have AAA bond ratings from the three agencies. The accomplishment ensures that Baltimore County will continue to pay the lowest interest rate available when it goes to the bond market.
