Springdale, Ark., May 13 - The Wyoming Community Development Authority priced $37 million of housing revenue bonds at par on Tuesday, the issuer told Prospect News.

The $37 million of series 2008-1 fixed rate bonds have serial maturities from 2009 through 2017 and term bonds in 2023, 2028 and 2035.

The bonds (Aa1/AA+/-) priced with 3.125% to 5.125% coupons for the serial maturities, said Scott Hoversland, director of finance.

The 2023 term bond priced with a 5.3% coupon; the 2028 term bond priced with a 5.45% coupon; and the 2035 term priced with a 5.6% coupon, he said.

The authority also plans to price $13 million of series 2008-2 variable rate bonds with an initial weekly interest rate on June 3, the date of closing, Hoversland said. The bonds are due Dec. 1, 2038.

Merrill Lynch & Co. is the senior manager of the negotiated sales. Co-managers are Kaiser and Co., Citigroup Global Markets and George K. Baum & Co.
