(individually, a "Fund" and, collectively, the "Funds"), of proxies to be voted
at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of each Fund to be held on October 23,
2002 (for each Fund, an "Annual Meeting" and, collectively, the "Annual
Meetings"), and at any and all adjournments thereof.
On the matters coming before each Fund's Annual Meeting as to which a choice has
been specified by the shareholders of that Fund on the proxy, the shares of that
Fund will be voted accordingly. If no choice is so specified, the shares of each
Fund will be voted FOR the election of the nominees as listed in this Joint
Proxy Statement. Shareholders of any Fund who execute proxies may revoke them at
any time before they are voted by filing with that Fund a written notice of
revocation, by delivering a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by
attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.
This Joint Proxy Statement is first being mailed to shareholders of the Funds on
or about September 27, 2002.
The Board of each Fund has determined that the use of this Joint Proxy Statement
for each Fund's Annual Meeting is in the best interest of each Fund and its
shareholders in light of the similar matters being considered and voted on by
the shareholders. Shareholders of each Fund will vote separately on each
proposal relating to their Fund, and a vote on a proposal by the shareholders of
one Fund will not affect the vote on the proposal by the shareholders of another
Fund.
The following table indicates which shareholders are solicited with respect to
each matter:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MATTER COMMON SHARES MUNIPREFERRED(1)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1a. Election of Board Members by all X X
shareholders (Robert P. Bremner, Lawrence
H. Brown, Anne E. Impellizzeri, Peter R.
Sawers and Judith M. Stockdale nominated)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
b. Election of Board Members by N/A X
MuniPreferred only (William J. Schneider
and Timothy R. Schwertfeger nominated)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) "MuniPreferred" means "Municipal Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred Shares."
A quorum of shareholders is required to take action at each Fund's Annual
Meeting. A majority of the shares entitled to vote at each Annual Meeting,
represented in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum of shareholders at
that Annual Meeting, except that for the election of the two Board Member
nominees to be elected by holders of MuniPreferred of
2
each Fund, 33 1/3% of the MuniPreferred shares entitled to vote and represented
in person or by proxy will constitute a quorum. Votes cast by proxy or in person
at each Annual Meeting will be tabulated by the inspectors of election appointed
for that Annual Meeting. The inspectors of election will determine whether or
not a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting. The inspectors of election will
treat abstentions and "broker non-votes" (i.e., shares held by brokers or
nominees, typically in "street name," as to which (i) instructions have not been
received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and (ii) the
broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power on a particular
matter) as present for purposes of determining a quorum.
For purposes of determining the approval of the matter submitted for a vote of
the shareholders of each Fund (except Arizona Dividend, Connecticut Dividend,
Connecticut Premium, Georgia Premium, Georgia Dividend, Maryland Dividend,
Maryland Dividend 2, Maryland Premium, Massachusetts Dividend, Massachusetts
Premium, Michigan Dividend, Missouri Premium, North Carolina Dividend, North
Carolina Dividend 2, North Carolina Premium, Ohio Dividend, Ohio Dividend 2,
Texas Quality, Virginia Dividend, Virginia Dividend 2 and Virginia Premium, the
"Massachusetts Business Trusts"), abstentions and broker non-votes will be
treated as shares voted against the election of Board Members. For purposes of
determining the approval of the matter submitted for a vote of the shareholders
of the Massachusetts Business Trusts, abstentions and broker non-votes will have
no effect on the election of Board Members. The details of the proposal to be
voted on by the shareholders of each Fund and the vote required for approval of
the proposal are set forth under the description of the proposal below.

Those persons who were shareholders of record at the close of business on August
27, 2002 will be entitled to one vote for each share held. As of August 27,

On July 31, 2002, Board Members and executive officers of the Funds as a group
beneficially owned 468,068 common shares of all funds managed by Nuveen Advisory
Corp. ("NAC" or the "Adviser"), Nuveen Institutional Advisory Corp. ("NIAC")
(includes Deferred Units and shares held by the executive officers in Nuveen's
401(k)/profit sharing plan). Each Board Member's individual beneficial
shareholdings of each Fund constitute less than 1% of the outstanding shares of
each Fund. As of August 27, 2002 the Board Members and executive
9
officers of the Funds as a group owned beneficially less than 1% of the
outstanding common shares of each Fund. As of August 27, 2002, the Board Members
and executive officers of the Funds did not own any shares of MuniPreferred. As
of August 27, 2002, no shareholder beneficially owned more than 5% of any class
of shares of any Fund.
OTHER AFFILIATIONS OR RELATIONSHIPS OF BOARD MEMBERS
As of July 31, 2002, none of the Board Members who are "interested persons" of a
Fund (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the "1940 Act")) and who are not affiliated with Nuveen Investments ("Nuveen")
or the Adviser (the "Independent Board Members"), nor any immediate family
member of an Independent Board Member, owns shares of the Adviser or a principal
underwriter of a Fund, nor does any such person own shares of a company
controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser or a
principal underwriter of a Fund.
There have been no transactions by a Fund since the beginning of the Fund's last
fiscal year, nor are there any transactions currently proposed, in which the
amount exceeds $60,000 and in which any Board Member, executive officer or
security holder of more than 5% of the voting securities of a Fund, or any
immediate family members of the foregoing persons, has or will have a direct or
indirect material interest, nor have any of the foregoing persons been indebted
to a Fund in an amount in excess of $60,000 at any time since that date.
No Independent Board Member, nor any immediate family member of such a Board
Member, has had, in the past five years, any direct or indirect interest, the
value of which exceeds $60,000, in the Adviser or principal underwriter of the
Funds or in a person (other than a registered investment company) directly or
indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with, the Adviser
or principal underwriter of the Funds. Moreover, no Independent Board Member (or
immediate family member of any Independent Board Member) has, or has had in the
last two fiscal years of the Funds, any direct or indirect relationships or any
direct or indirect material interest in any transaction or series of
transactions or in any currently proposed transaction or series of transactions,
in which the amount involved exceeds $60,000, in which the following persons
were or are a party: the Funds, an officer of the Funds, any investment company
sharing the same Adviser or principal underwriter of the Funds or any officer of
such a party, any person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or
under common control with, the Adviser or principal underwriter of the Funds, or
any officer of such a person.
Within the last two completed fiscal years of the Funds, no officer of any
investment adviser or principal underwriter of the Funds or of any person
directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with
the investment adviser or principal underwriter of the Funds, has served as a
board member on a board of a company where any of the Board Members or Nominees
of the Funds has served as an officer.
COMPENSATION
The Board Members affiliated with Nuveen Investments ("Nuveen") or Nuveen
Advisory Corp. (the "Adviser") serve without any compensation from the Funds.
The Independent Board Members receive a $15,000 quarterly retainer ($60,000
annually) for serving as a board member of all funds affiliated with Nuveen and
the Adviser and a $1,750 fee per day plus expenses for attendance in person or
by telephone at all meetings of the Board (including any
10
committee meetings) held on a day on which a regularly scheduled Board meeting
is held, a $1,000 fee per day plus expenses for attendance in person or a $500
fee per day plus expenses for attendance by telephone at all meetings,
(including any committee meetings) held on a day on which no regular Board
meeting is held, and a $500 fee per day plus expenses for attendance in person
or $250 if by telephone at a meeting of any committee. The annual retainer, fees
and expenses are allocated among the funds managed by the Adviser on the basis
of relative net asset sizes although Fund management may, in its discretion,
establish a minimum amount to be allocated to each such Fund. Effective January
1, 1999, the Board of Directors/Trustees of certain Nuveen Funds (the
"Participating Funds") established a Deferred Compensation Plan for Independent
Directors and Trustees ("Deferred Compensation Plan"). Under the Deferred
Compensation Plan, Independent Board Members of the Participating Funds may
defer receipt of all, or a portion, of the compensation they earn for their
services to the Participating Funds, in lieu of receiving current payments of
such compensation. Any deferred amount is treated as though an equivalent dollar
amount had been invested in shares of one or more eligible Nuveen funds. Each
Independent Board Member, other than Mr. Brown, has elected to defer at least a
portion of their fees. None of the Funds are Participating Funds.
The table below shows, for each Board Member who is not affiliated with Nuveen
or the Adviser, the aggregate compensation (i) paid by each Fund to each Board
Member for its last fiscal year and (ii) paid (including deferred fees) for
service on the boards of the NAC Funds for the calendar year ended 2001. Mr.
Schwertfeger, a Board Member who is an interested person of each Fund, does not
receive any compensation from the Fund or any Nuveen Funds.

COMMITTEES
The Board Members serve on four standing committees: the executive committee,
the audit committee, the nominating and governance committee, and the dividend
and valuation committee.
Peter R. Sawers and Timothy R. Schwertfeger serve as members of the executive
committee of the Board of each Fund. The executive committee, which meets
between regular meetings of the Board, is authorized to exercise all of the
powers of the Board; provided that the scope of the powers of the executive
committee, unless otherwise specifically authorized by the full Board, are
limited to: (i) emergency matters where assembly of the full Board is
impracticable (in which case management will take all reasonable steps to
quickly notify each individual Board Member of the actions taken by the
executive committee) or (ii) matters of an administrative or ministerial nature.
The executive committee of each of the Georgia Dividend Advantage, Maryland
Dividend Advantage 2, Michigan Dividend Advantage, North Carolina Dividend
Advantage 2, Ohio Dividend Advantage 2 and Virginia Dividend Advantage 2 held
two meetings during each Fund's last fiscal year; the executive committee of
each of the other Funds held no meetings during their fiscal year.
Lawrence H. Brown and Timothy R. Schwertfeger are the current members of the
dividend and valuation committee for each Fund. The dividend and valuation
committee is authorized to declare distributions on the Funds' shares including,
but not limited to, regular and special dividends, capital gains and ordinary
income distributions. The committee also oversees the Fund's Pricing Procedures
including, but not limited to, the review and approval of fair value pricing
determinations made by Nuveen's Valuation Group. The dividend and valuation
committee of each Fund with a May 31 fiscal year end held 5 meetings during its
last fiscal year and each Fund with a July 31 fiscal year end held 6 meetings
during its last fiscal year.
Each Fund's Board has an audit committee composed of Board Members who are not
"interested persons" of the Fund and who are "independent" as that term is
defined in Section 303.01(B)(2)(a) and (3) of the New York Stock Exchange's
listing standards or Section 121(A) of American Stock Exchange's listing
standards, as applicable. The audit committee monitors the accounting and
reporting policies and practices of the Funds, the quality and integrity of the
financial statements of the Funds, compliance by the Funds with legal and
regulatory requirements and the independence and performance of the external and
internal auditors. The audit committee reviews the work and any recommendations
of the Fund's independent auditors. Based on such review, it is authorized to
make recommendations to the Board. The audit committee has adopted a written
charter. The audit committee of each Fund held 2 meetings during its last fiscal
year.
Nomination of those Board Members who are not "interested persons" of each Fund
is committed to a nominating and governance committee composed of all Board
Members who are not "interested persons" of that Fund. It identifies and
recommends individuals to be nominated for election as non-interested Board
Members. The committee also reviews matters relating to (1) the composition,
duties, recruitment, independence and tenure of Board Members, (2) the selection
and review of committee assignments, and (3) Board Member education, board
meetings and board performance. The nominating and governance committee of each
Fund held one meeting during its last fiscal year. In the event of a vacancy on
the Board, the nominating and governance committee receives suggestions from
various sources as to suitable candidates. Suggestions should be sent in writing
to Lorna Ferguson,
13
Vice President for Board Relations, Nuveen Investments, 333 West Wacker Drive,
Chicago, IL 60606. The nominating and governance committee sets appropriate
standards and requirements for nominations for new Board Members and reserves
the right to interview all candidates and to make the final selection regarding
the nomination of any new Board Members. The nominating and governance committee
of each Fund held 2 meetings during its last fiscal year.
The Board of each Fund with a May 31 fiscal year end held 4 regular quarterly
meetings and 2 special meetings during its last fiscal year. The Board of each
Fund with a July 31 fiscal year end held 5 regular quarterly meetings and 1
special meeting during its last fiscal year. During the last fiscal year, each
Board Member attended 75% or more of each Fund's Board meetings and the
committee meetings (if a member thereof).
THE FUND'S OFFICERS
The following table sets forth information as of September 1, 2002 with respect
to each officer of the Funds, other than Mr. Schwertfeger, who is a Board Member
and is included in the table relating to nominees for the Board. Officers of the
Funds receive no compensation from the Funds. The term of office of all officers

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
The Audit Committee of the Board of each Fund is responsible for assisting the
Board in monitoring (1) the quality and integrity of the Fund's financial
statements, (2) each Fund's compliance with regulatory requirements, and (3) the
independence and performance of the Fund's independent and internal auditors.
Among other responsibilities, the Committee reviews, in its oversight capacity,
each Fund's annual financial statements with both management and the independent
auditors and the Committees meet periodically with the independent and internal
auditors to consider their evaluation of the Fund's financial and internal
controls. The Committee also recommends to the Board the selection of each
Fund's independent auditors. The Committee is currently composed of six Board
Members and operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board.
Each Committee member is independent as defined by New York Stock Exchange and
American Stock Exchange listing standards, as applicable.
The Committee, in discharging its duties, has met with and held discussions with
management and each Fund's independent and internal auditors. The Committee has
reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management.
Management
18
has represented to the independent auditors that each Fund's financial
statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. The Committee has also discussed with the independent auditors the
matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61
(Communications with Audit Committees). Each Fund's independent auditors
provided to the Committee the written disclosure required by Independent
Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independent Discussions with Audit Committees),
and the Committee discussed with representatives of the independent auditor
their firm's independence. As provided in the Audit Committee Charter, it is not
the Committee's responsibility to determine, and the considerations and
discussions referenced above do not ensure, that each Fund's financial
statements are complete and accurate and presented in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
Based on the Committee's review and discussions with management and the
independent auditors, the representations of management and the report of the
independent auditors to the Committee, the Committee has recommended that the
Board include the audited financial statements in each Fund's Annual Report.
The members of the Committee are:
Robert P. Bremner
Lawrence H. Brown
Anne E. Impellizzeri
Peter R. Sawers
William J. Schneider
Judith M. Stockdale

ALL NON-AUDIT FEES. The Audit Committee of each Fund has generally considered
whether the receipt of non-audit fees by Ernst & Young LLP from the Fund is
compatible with maintaining Ernst & Young LLP's independence.
APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Each Fund's Board of Directors/Trustees has appointed Ernst & Young LLP,
independent public accountants, as independent auditors to audit the books and
records of each Fund for its fiscal year. A representative of Ernst & Young LLP
will be present at the meeting to make a statement, if such representative so
desires, and to respond to shareholders' questions. Ernst & Young LLP has
informed each Fund that it has no direct or indirect material financial
20
interest in the Fund, Nuveen, the Adviser or any other investment company
sponsored by Nuveen.
SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL INTEREST REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 30(h) of the 1940 Act and Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), require each Fund's Board Members and
officers, investment adviser, affiliated persons of the investment adviser and
persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Funds' equity
securities to file forms reporting their affiliation with that Fund and reports
of ownership and changes in ownership of that Fund's shares with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and the New York Stock Exchange or American
Stock Exchange, as applicable. These persons and entities are required by SEC
regulation to furnish the Funds with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they
file. Based on a review of these forms furnished to each Fund, each Fund
believes that the Fund's Board Members and officers, investment adviser and
affiliated persons of the investment adviser have complied with all applicable
Section 16(a) filing requirements during its last fiscal year, except that late
filings were made on Form 3 on behalf of the Board members and officers,
investment adviser and affiliated persons of the investment adviser for Georgia
Dividend, Maryland Dividend 2, Michigan Dividend, North Carolina Dividend 2,
Ohio Dividend, Ohio Dividend 2, and Virginia Dividend 2. To the knowledge of
management of the Funds, no shareholder of a Fund beneficially owns more than
10% of a registered class of a Fund's equity securities.

GENERAL
Management does not intend to present and does not have reason to believe that
any other items of business will be presented at any Fund's Annual Meeting.
However, if other matters are properly presented to the Annual Meeting for a
vote, the proxies will be voted by the persons acting under the proxies upon
such matters in accordance with their judgment of the best interests of the
Fund.
A list of shareholders entitled to be present and to vote at each Fund's Annual
Meeting will be available at the offices of the Funds, 333 West Wacker Drive,
Chicago, Illinois, for inspection by any shareholder during regular business
hours beginning ten days prior to the date of that Annual Meeting.
Failure of a quorum to be present at any Annual Meeting will necessitate
adjournment and will subject that Fund to additional expense. The persons named
in the enclosed proxy may also move for an adjournment of any Annual Meeting to
permit further solicitation of proxies with respect to any of the proposals if
they determine that adjournment and further solicitation is reasonable and in
the best interests of the shareholders. Under each Fund's By-Laws, an
adjournment of a meeting requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the
shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting.
IF YOU CANNOT BE PRESENT AT THE MEETING, YOU ARE REQUESTED TO FILL IN, SIGN AND
RETURN THE ENCLOSED PROXY PROMPTLY. NO POSTAGE IS REQUIRED IF MAILED IN THE
