IRBs can be used to finance, refinance, and reimburse the costs of acquiring, constructing, restoring, rehabilitating, expanding, improving, equipping, or furnishing real property and related subordinate facilities. More than $9.5 billion has been issued through Washington, DC's IRB program since 1994.</dc:description><dc:format>ArcGIS DynamicMapLayer</dc:format><dc:identifier>https://hub.arcgis.com/datasets/eac41c3a46274a6bbe6184c6bbf412e8_43</dc:identifier><dc:language>eng</dc:language><dc:publisher>Open Data DC</dc:publisher><dc:rights>Public</dc:rights><dc:title>Industrial Revenue Bond Program Areas [District of Columbia--Washington]</dc:title><dc:type>Web services</dc:type><dc:coverage>District of Columbia--Washington</dc:coverage><dc:coverage>District of Columbia</dc:coverage><dc:date>Last Modified: 2024-09-12</dc:date></oai_dc:dc>
