 Authority Mission

The Michigan Municipal Bond Authority will provide an alternative source of financing for infrastructure projects and low cost access to the public finance market for Michigan local units of government.
 

 MMBA Finance Programs

The basis of the Authority's financing programs is the pooling of local government loans. The Authority sells a similar amount of debt in the regional and national public finance market and lends the monies received from the sale to the participating municipal borrowers. As borrowers make repayments to the Authority, the Authority in turn repays its bond or note holders. Each borrower pays a pro rata share of costs of issuance and is only responsible for their own loan. Any financing legally authorized may be issued through the Authority.
