<br />Projected Debt Capacity
<br />Debt Financing is one way that the county has provided for its capital facility needs. The primary
<br />rationale for providing capital facilities through indebtedness is that it spreads the cost of a facility
<br />over its useful life and thus is paid for by those who will use the facility.
