They expect the city’s economy will likely remain strong throughout the two-year outlook period. The long-term rating reflects a strong economy with access to a broad and diverse metropolitan statistical area, and also strong management with good financial policies and practices, strong budgetary performance and a strong institutional framework score. “The state of our city is strong and I am proud and honored that Standard and Poor’s Global Ratings has given us one of their highest ratings,” said DeMaria. “These ratings ensure that we will save hundreds of thousands of dollars in borrowing costs – saving our residents critical funds and allowing us to reinvest into city services, which are critical to our community. Everett is a great place to invest right now.”
