San Juan Capistrano's general obligation bonds upgraded to AAA

Move reflects the city's thriving economic base.

San Juan Capistrano's general obligation bonds have been upgraded from AA+ to a AAA rating by Standard & Poor. The move reflects the city’s thriving economic base.

Currently, San Juan Capistrano has $5.2 million in outstanding GO bonds from a 1998 issuance that matures in 2017.

Voters last year approved a measure that allows San Juan Capistrano to sell up to $30 million more in bonds, which the city can then use to obtain additional land for open space preservation and improvements.

S&P, a financial services company that publishes research and analysis on stocks and bonds, says the upgraded GO bond rating is based on the city’s growing economy.
