of such funding are almost always 501 (c) (3) entities like hospitals, private universities, charter schools,
museums, etc. Financing must meet state bond law requirements and, unless issued on a taxable basis,
must also meet state and federal income tax rules for tax-exempt bonds.The Apache Junction Industrial
Development Authority Board only meets on an as-needed basis as outside entities request consideration
of this financing tool.
