Alabamas Jefferson County Says Creditors Approve New Terms to End Bankruptcy

Submitted by webadmin on

Alabama's Jefferson County officials said that the county and Wall Street creditors have reached agreement on a revised plan to end the second-largest U.S. municipal bankruptcy, Reuters reported yesterday. The new terms were not made public but county officials had said they needed $350 million more in concessions because interest rates had risen since June, when JPMorgan, hedge funds and other creditors reached a tentative settlement to end the $4.2 billion bankruptcy. County commissioners will consider the revised plan today, when details will be released, county officials said in a statement.
