Astoria, OR – State officials said that the treasury and other award winners will be recognized at a ceremony to be held in early December, where The Bond Buyer will also announce its national “Deal of the Year” recipient. Treasury is one of 10 finalists.
Facilitated through Treasury’s Buy Oregon Bonds Program last spring, the bond offering provided Oregonians an opportunity to invest in Oregon through the bond sale’s $1,000 denomination offering (lower than the normal $5,000 denominations).
The goal of the reduced offering was to attract a wider range of local investors and provide Oregonians more accessible opportunities for investing in the state.
The $109 million in bond purchases by Oregon retail investors was the largest in recent history for bond sales.
