Harmony DC Public Charter Schools Revenue Bonds Project Approval Resolution of 2026
This resolution authorizes the District of Columbia to issue up to $17 million in tax-exempt revenue bonds to help Harmony DC Public Charter Schools fund a school project. The funds will be used to acquire, renovate, and equip a 33,774-square-foot facility at 2917 8th Street NE, as well as cover related costs like interest and issuance fees. The bonds are structured so that the District has no financial liability or obligation to repay them, meaning the school itself is responsible for the debt. This measure allows the school to finance its development without creating a general debt for the city.
