On September 4th, S&P Global Ratings reaffirmed the Town of North Andover’s AAA bond rating and provided a Stable outlook on the Town’s outstanding and pending bond issuances. This AAA rating was assigned for both general obligation (GO) bonds and as a rating for Town’s long-term GO debt outstanding.  The report notes that, “North Andover’s general creditworthiness is supported by its affluent residential tax base and steady operating performance, supported by predictable revenues and leading to a healthy reserve position and limited direct debt.”  

Town Manager Melissa Rodrigues stated that, “Maintaining our AAA credit rating is a clear reflection of North Andover’s strong financial management and commitment to long-term fiscal stability. It re-affirms that we are on the right track financially and should continue to stand by our financial policies. This rating will allow the Town to continue to roll out Facilities Master Plan II with the least amount of impact on our taxpayers.”

Municipalities have their financial conditions re-evaluated every time they issue new long term debt. This rating was done in order to bond for the Middle School addition and renovation.

Traffic delays, detours and raised castings should be expected if travelling within these areas. A town representative will be on site during construction. We appreciate your understanding. For any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to the engineering department. Thank you.
