Request for Information: MOOSE Net Bond Counsel

The Maine Connectivity Authority (“MCA”) is requesting proposals from qualified law firms to serve as Bond Counsel for MCA’s anticipated tax exempt bond financing in support of MCA’s middle-mile broadband infrastructure project commencing in April 2026 and continuing throughout the term of the bond financing.
​
To fulfill the non-federal match requirements of the NTIA grant, MCA plans to secure approximately $5 Million in bond financing, and seeks Bond Counsel to assist in that bond financing. As a "body corporate and politic," MCA is authorized under 35-A MRS Section 9405(10) and 9406 to incur debt and to issue bonds, either directly or through
independent finance authorities, such as the Maine Municipal Bond Bank (MMBB) or the Finance Authority of Maine (FAME).
