Preston Hollow Community Capital Completes $32 Million Bond Funding for Chester Upland School District

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Preston Hollow Community Capital recently announced the completion of a $32 million general obligation bond transaction for the Chester Upland School District in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. The proceeds from the sale of the bonds are being used to acquire and renovate two buildings located at 1410 Edgmont Avenue and 1350 Edgmont Avenue in Chester that will be adapted to serve as new classroom and office space for the District. The School District will also use bond proceeds to fund capital projects at its existing facilities.

The bond issuance is a milestone reflecting the School District’s commitment to improve its educational facilities. The building at 1410 Edgmont Avenue has housed a charter school with recent enrollment of approximately 450 students, and the School District intends to continue to operate this building as a school with a similar number of students.

“PHCC is proud to be a part of Chester Upland School District’s ongoing commitment to grow and improve the learning environment for its students,” said PHCC Managing Director and Co-Head of Originations Charlie Visconsi. “These acquisitions and renovations are the District’s first major infrastructure improvement in nearly 50 years, making them especially meaningful for families in the District.”

“It was a pleasure to work with Preston Hollow to address several long and overdue capital needs in Chester-Upland School District,” said Nafis Nichols, Receiver, Chester Upland School District. “With a very tight timeline, we were also able to acquire two properties for our growing school district. These new additions and much needed renovations will only enhance the educational environment for our students, faulty, and staff.”
