Standard&Poor's Ratings Services has assigned its 'AA-' rating to Cuyahoga County, Ohio's series 2014B taxable economic development revenue bonds (Western Reserve project) and series 2014C economic development refunding revenue bonds (Medical Mart/Convention Center project). At the same time, Standard&Poor's affirmed its 'AA' long-term ratings on the county's general obligation (GO) debt, and its 'AA-' long-term ratings on the nontax- and appropriation-secured bonds issued either by or for Cuyahoga County. The outlook is stable. Securing the bonds is a pledge of the county's nontax revenues, on par with the county's existing nontax revenue bonds, which include charges for services; payments in lieu of taxes; fines and forfeitures; fees, licenses, and permits; investment earnings; proceeds from the sale
