The Town of Mooresville’s issuer bond rating was maintained at AAA by Moody’s, which also maintained the town’s Aa1 rating on its outstanding limited obligation bonds (LOBs). The town’s proposed $3.7 million Limited Obligation Bonds Series 2025A and proposed $11.5 million Taxable Limited Obligation Bonds Series 2025B received Aa1 ratings by Moody’s.

Standard & Poor’s (S&Ps) Global Ratings assigned the AA long-term rating to Mooresville Public Facilities Corporation, N.C. series 2025A and series 2025B limited obligation bonds. S&P also affirmed its AA+ rating on the town’s outstanding general obligation (GO) debt and an AA rating on its outstanding appropriation debt.

The AAA rating by Moody’s is the strongest bond rating and indicates a high level of creditworthiness and the strongest capacity to pay back debt. The AA+ rating by S&P indicates a very strong ability to repay debts and other financial obligations.

“Strong ratings indicate strong fiscal management and financial health, and we are pleased to maintain high bond ratings from Moody’s and S&P rating agencies in 2025,” Town Manager Tracey Jerome said.

According to a statement by Moody’s, “The AAA issuer rating reflects the town’s growing economy in the Charlotte Metropolitan area, reflected by a 32% increase to its tax base following revaluation in 2024, ongoing growth in sales tax revenue, and a robust trend of construction and permitting activity. The rating also reflects the town’s strong financial position that will be sustained by prudent fiscal management and fund balance policies.”
