Under federal law, each state can approve a limited amount of tax-exempt debt, that can be used for private projects. To qualify for this lower cost financing, the financed projects need to benefit the public.
The Private Activity Bond Committee is responsible for determining which private projects can qualify. Certain types of privately owned facilities such as airports, boat docks, affordable housing, or other economic development projects, provide significant benefits to the communities they serve. When the construction of a private facility would provide important public benefits, the project can often be financed using tax-exempt bonds.
