California’s public agencies have access to a wide variety of financing tools for infrastructure, facilities, and equipment. Capital projects financing allows for timely construction (especially valuable when inflation is high), cash flow predictability, and allocation of costs to their beneficiaries. To help attract private investment into public infrastructure, the U.S. tax code allows for many public projects to be financed with lower tax-exempt interest rates.
