We recently used a tax-exempt bond option to refinance one of our sites. It's worthwhile looking into because of the lower rate and tax deduction incentives for the bond holders. Rates are generally a full percent or more less. There are some issues with qualifying and selling the bonds but ultimately worth the effort.
