Springdale, Ark., June 6 - The Virginia Resources Authority priced $71.34 million infrastructure revenue bonds for the Virginia Pooled Financing Program with 4.24% and 4.265% true interest costs, the issuer said Friday.

The $48.89 million series 2008A senior bonds (Aaa/AAA/) priced with a 4.24% true interest cost, said Sheryl Bailey, executive director.

The bonds priced with 3% to 5% coupons to yield 1.75% to 4.66%.

The $22.45 million series 2008A subordinate bonds (Aa2/AA/) priced with a 4.265% true interest cost, she said.

The bonds priced with 2.5% to 4.625% coupons to yield 1.9% to 4.71%.

Nearly 30% of the senior bonds and 68.5% of the subordinate bonds also were sold in retail orders, Bailey said.
