“(The Ohio Market Access Program) is helping our local communities to obtain more competitive interest rates and achieve meaningful cost savings,” said Sprague in the release. “We’re proud to welcome the EHOVE Career Center as our newest (Ohio Market Access Program) partner, and we’re honored to back their efforts to make important upgrades while also achieving nearly $15,000 in total savings.”

The EHOVE Career Center’s notes were issued to finance the construction, renovation, remodeling, furnishing, equipping and overall enhancement of joint vocational school district buildings, according to the release.

The Market Access Program is a credit enhancement program that leverages the state’s excess liquidity and high short-term credit rating to help improve market access and lower borrowing rates for local governments, the release said.
