 Now, Emily Griffin with North Country News, WATN. Some North Country school districts will receive tens of millions of dollars in low-cost, tax-exempt bonds issued by New York State's Dormitory Authority. The bonds aim to provide permanent, long-term, fixed-rate financing for schools to refinance short-term debt. The districts benefiting from this program include Alexandria Central, Carthage, Herman DeKalb, Indian River, and Messina.
