  • Implementation & Funding Plan
    PLATTE COUNTY LONG‐TERM CARE STUDY Implementation/Funding Plan New Nursing Home There are several sources of funding available for the construction of the new $6.3 million nursing home: General Obligation Bonds Revenue Bonds Hospital District Mill Levy Capital Facility Tax (special purpose excise tax) State Loan & Investment Board (SLIB) Consensus and/or Mineral Royalty grants U.S. Department of Agriculture/Rural Development programs Wyoming Business Council/Business Ready Community Grant & Loan program Local fundraising Private grants Revenue from the new assisted living facility Each of these potential funding sources has certain attributes to be considered, including their respective costs, uses, and likelihood of availability. They will each be discussed below. General Obligation Bonds General obligation bonds pledge the "full faith and credit" of the issuing local government, which would either be Platte County or the Platte County Hospital District. The entity pledging its assets then agrees to use tax money to repay the debt. There are statutory limits to the total mills that can be assessed on property tax valuation in the issuance of general obligation bonds. General obligation bonds cannot be issued unless a majority of the voters approves the assessment. Wyoming Statute 35‐2‐415 provides the authorization for the hospital district board (or Platte County itself) to issue general obligation bonds. Bonds may be issued in an amount not to exceed 5% of the district’s assessed valuation. Based on current estimates of Platte County’s assessed valuation, the maximum amount of general obligation debt the hospital district could issue would be $7,448,259.
