Eustace to pay off First State Bank loan
Body
EUSTACE–At the Feb. 2 meeting of the Eustace City Council, council members voted for an early pay-off on the total remaining balance of just over $96,000 on its loan with First State Bank.
The loan originated in November 2015 with an original balance of $268,000 and was used for water and sewer improvements in the city. Having paid off $172,000 over the course of seven years, the council determined it was in the best interests of the city to pay the remaining debt in full.
