Ala.'s Jefferson County Emerges From Bankruptcy
Ala.'s Jefferson County Emerges From Bankruptcy
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. December 4, 2013 (AP)
Jefferson County, Ala., has closed the sale of nearly $1.8 billion in new debt and emerged from the nation's second-largest municipal bankruptcy.
Jefferson County Commission President David Carrington said the paperwork on the new debt was signed Tuesday. Commissioner Jimmy Stephens said a great weight has been lifted.
Jefferson County filed for bankruptcy in 2011, citing more than $4.2 billion in debt. It had been the nation's largest municipal bankruptcy until Detroit filed this year, citing $18 billion in debt. A federal judge approved Jefferson County's plan to exit bankruptcy last month, but it was conditioned on closing on the new debt Tuesday.
A group of residents is appealing the judge's approval of the county's plan.
The plan means higher rates for customers of the county sewer system.
