Municipal bonds play a key role in advancing public infrastructure projects. In this episode, we focus on the Indiana Convention Center, its role in the local economy, its bonds and the relative attractiveness of municipal debt issued in the Hoosier State. If you’ve always wondered about the plumbing of how financing gets raised for public projects like the expansion of the convention center and what opportunities that creates for investors, this episode is for you!
