<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.
<br /> Table 6.14 identifies the amount of revenue that the County can raise by issuing revenue bonds.
<br /> Those bonds can be issued without a public vote. That table identifies the County's bonding capacity
