SACRAMENTO – The California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank (IBank) Board of Directors approved financings for the J. Paul Getty Trust, the City of San Luis Obispo and the City of Goleta at Wednesday’s meeting.
The Board approved a revenue bond not to exceed $250,000,000 that will benefit The J. Paul Getty Trust. They will use the bond proceeds to finance and refinance an eligible project within the City of Los Angeles. The charitable trust dedicated to the presentation, enjoyment, study and conservation of the visual arts and humanities has two projects in Los Angeles that have been financed through IBank.
The Board also approved Infrastructure State Revolving Fund program financing requests from the City of San Luis Obispo and the City of Goleta. San Luis Obispo was approved for an amount not to exceed $14,300,000 to finance a water energy efficiency project while the City of Goleta was approved for an amount not to exceed $10,000,000 to finance the purchase of City Hall.
“IBank financing is helping three different communities with three vastly different projects and it just shows the impact we can have throughout the state,” Executive Director Scott Wu said. “We get to help a trust save money, a city become their own landlords of city hall and we are helping another city with a vital water efficiency project.”
