Glen Cove’s credit rating downgraded over $3M budget gap

Before the Glen Cove City Council approved its $4.9 million public improvement capital bonds, it received a downgraded credit rating, which was the direct result of the city having a deficit of over $3 million in its budget, according to Moody’s Ratings.

Moody’s, the credit rating agency, said the city had approximately $52 million in debt outstanding as of May 6, and it announced May 12 that the city’s credit rating was downgraded from Baa1 to Baa2.
