Overview
The Virginia Pooled Financing Program (VPFP) is a general municipal pool program that provides Virginia local governments with efficient public debt market access to finance or refinance essential projects at competitive interest rates. Through the VPFP, VRA sells municipal bonds and then loans the proceeds to local governments, which benefit from VRA’s strong credit ratings, competitive interest rates, and straightforward application process.
The VPFP offers loan structuring flexibility, while allowing localities to finance or refinance multiple different project types through a single transaction. The VRA team manages all aspects of the bond issuance process and guides applicants to and after loan closing.
