DeKalb maintains good credit rating

DeKALB – DeKalb aldermen were pleased to hear that the city’s bond rating held steady at a time when other governments are seeing theirs drop.

“I think that’s a huge achievement, especially considering this environment we’re in, especially for municipalities,” Fourth Ward Alderman Brendon Gallagher said.

The city retained its Aa2 rating, albeit with a negative outlook, from Moody’s Investors Service. Assistant City Manager Rudy Espiritu and Mayor Kris Povlsen said they were hoping for an upgrade.
