“It is an honor to be recognized by The Bond Buyer for our bond sale,” said Kimberly Becker, San Diego County Regional Airport Authority President & CEO. “The majority of funds we secured from the bond deal will be used to pay for the New T1 program, a project costing $3.4 billion in total. The deal was of significant value as we improve our airport, and we appreciate The Bond Buyer recognizing our efforts. I would like to congratulate the Finance and Legal teams at the Airport Authority on this respected award.”
