The
Town of Knightdale’s bond rating jumped two rating
categories – from A+ to AA following a review of the
Town’s finances and economic condition by the national
rating agency Standard and Poor’s. The rating also
reflects the town's suburban community, adjacent to and
benefiting from participation within the deep and
diverse economic and employment base of nearby Raleigh
and the greater Research Triangle; moderate to above
average resident wealth and income levels; growing and
diversifying tax base; sound fiscal performance with
healthy fund equity levels; and favorable overall debt
position, coupled with modest future capital needs.
Knightdale becomes the smallest town to hold the
distinction, joining Apex, Asheville, Cornelius,
Greenville, High Point, Huntersville, Mathews, Wake
Forest and Wilmington.
