August 1, 2008

Dear Shareholder:

A joint annual meeting of the BlackRock closed-end funds listed in Appendix A to the enclosed proxy statement (each a “Fund”) will be held at the offices of BlackRock Advisors, LLC, Park Avenue Plaza, 55 East 52nd Street, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10055, on Friday, September 12, 2008, at 12:30 p.m. (Eastern time), to vote on the proposal discussed in the enclosed proxy statement.

The purpose of the meeting is to seek shareholder approval of nominees to the board of directors or trustees (each a “Board,” the members of which are referred to as “Board Members”) of each Fund. At a meeting of the Boards held on May 29-30, 2008, each Board approved the proposed nominees on behalf of its Fund, subject to approval by the Fund’s shareholders. The Boards have reviewed the qualifications and backgrounds of the nominees and believe that they are experienced in overseeing investment companies and are familiar with the Funds and their investment advisers and that their election is in your best interests.

The Board Members responsible for your Fund recommend that you vote “FOR” the nominees for your Fund. However, before you vote, please read the full text of the proxy statement for an explanation of the proposal.

Your vote is important. Even if you plan to attend and vote in person at the meeting, please promptly follow the enclosed instructions to submit voting instructions by telephone or over the Internet. Alternatively, you may submit voting instructions by signing and dating each proxy card you receive, and if received by mail, returning it in the accompanying postage-paid return envelope.

You have received this proxy statement because you were a shareholder of record on July 14, 2008 of at least one of the Funds listed in Appendix A . Certain other BlackRock closed-end funds not listed in Appendix A will also hold their annual meeting at the place and date stated above. If you were also a shareholder of record on July 14, 2008 of at least one of those other funds, you will receive a separate proxy statement relating to those funds. If you have any questions about the proposal to be voted on, please call The Altman Group, Inc. at 1-800-820-2412.

Sincerely,

Howard B. Surloff

ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

SEPTEMBER 12, 2008

JOINT PROXY STATEMENT

This joint proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the board of directors or trustees (each a “Board,” the members of which are referred to as “Board Members”) of each BlackRock closed-end fund listed on page 3 of this Proxy Statement (each a “Fund”). The proxies will be voted at the joint annual meeting of shareholders of the Funds and at any and all adjournments or postponements thereof. The meeting will be held at the offices of BlackRock Advisors, LLC, Park Avenue Plaza, 55 East 52nd Street, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10055 on Friday, September 12, 2008, at 12:30 p.m. (Eastern time). The meeting will be held for the purposes set forth in the accompanying notice.

The Boards of the Funds have determined that the use of this Proxy Statement for the meeting is in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders in light of the similar matters being considered and voted on by the shareholders of each Fund. This Proxy Statement and the accompanying materials, or a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, are being mailed to shareholders on or about August 1, 2008.

Each Fund listed in Appendix A to this Proxy Statement is organized as a Massachusetts business trust (each, a “Massachusetts Trust”), a Maryland corporation (each, a “Maryland Corporation”) or a Delaware statutory trust (each, a “Delaware Trust”). The Massachusetts Trusts, Maryland Corporations and Delaware Trusts are closed-end investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). A list of each Massachusetts Trust, Maryland Corporation and Delaware Trust is set forth in Appendix A .

Shareholders of record of a Fund as of the close of business on July 14, 2008 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to attend and to vote at that Fund’s meeting. Shareholders of the Funds are entitled to one vote for each share held, with no shares having cumulative voting rights. Holders of the auction market preferred stock, auction market preferred shares, auction preferred stock, auction preferred shares, auction rate preferred shares of beneficial interest, municipal auction rate cumulative preferred shares or auction rate municipal preferred shares (collectively, “AMPS”) of each of the Funds identified in Appendix A (collectively, the “AMPS Funds”) will have equal voting rights with the shares of common stock or common shares of beneficial interest (collectively, “common shares”) of the AMPS Funds and will vote together with the holders of common shares as a single class on each nominee to the Board of the AMPS Fund in which they own AMPS, except that they are entitled to vote separately as a class to elect two Board Members for each AMPS Fund in which they own AMPS. The quorum and voting requirements for each Fund are described in the section below entitled “Vote Required and Manner of Voting Proxies.”

The number of shares outstanding of each Fund as of the close of business on the Record Date and the net assets of each Fund on the Record Date are shown in Appendix A . Except as set forth in Appendix I , to the knowledge of each Fund, as of May 31, 2008, no person was the beneficial owner of five percent or more of a class of a Fund’s outstanding shares.

The Fund in which you owned shares on the Record Date is named on the proxy card or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. If you owned shares in more than one Fund on the Record Date, you may receive more than one proxy card. Even if you plan to attend the meeting, please sign, date and return EACH proxy card you receive or if you provide voting instructions by telephone or over the Internet, please vote on the proposal affecting EACH Fund you own. If you vote by telephone or over the Internet, you will be asked to enter a unique code that has been assigned to you, which is printed on your proxy card(s) or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, as applicable.

This code is designed to confirm your identity, provide access into the voting site and confirm that your instructions are properly recorded.

All properly executed proxies received prior to the meeting will be voted at the meeting. On any matter coming before the meeting as to which a shareholder has specified a choice on that shareholder’s proxy, the shares will be voted accordingly. If a proxy is properly executed and returned and no choice is specified with respect to the proposal, the shares will be voted “ FOR ” the proposal. Shareholders who execute proxies or provide voting instructions by telephone or the Internet may revoke them with respect to the proposal at any time before a vote is taken on the proposal by filing with the applicable Fund a written notice of revocation (addressed to the Secretary of the Fund at the principal executive offices of the Fund at the address above), by delivering a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or by attending the meeting and voting in person, in all cases prior to the exercise of the authority granted in the proxy card. Merely attending the meeting, however, will not revoke any previously executed proxy. If you hold shares through a bank or other intermediary, please consult your bank or intermediary regarding your ability to revoke voting instructions after such instructions have been provided.

Certain other BlackRock closed-end funds not listed on page 3 will also hold their annual meeting at the place and date stated above. If you were also a shareholder of record on the Record Date of at least one of those other funds, you will receive a separate proxy statement relating to those funds.

Photographic identification will be required for admission to the meeting.

Each Fund will furnish, without charge, a copy of its annual report and most recent semi-annual report succeeding the annual report, if any, to a shareholder upon request. Such requests should be directed to the Fund at 40 East 52nd Street, New York, New York 10022-5911, or by calling toll free at 1-800-441-7762. Copies of annual and semi-annual reports of each Fund are also available on the EDGAR Database on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Internet site at www.sec.gov.

Please note that only one annual or semi-annual report or Proxy Statement or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials may be delivered to two or more shareholders of a Fund who share an address, unless the Fund has received instructions to the contrary. To request a separate copy of an annual report or semi-annual report or this Proxy Statement or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, or for instructions as to how to request a separate copy of these documents or as to how to request a single copy if multiple copies of these documents are received, shareholders should contact the applicable Fund at the address and phone number set forth above.

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT

To avoid the unnecessary expense of further solicitation, we urge you to indicate voting instructions on the enclosed proxy card, and if received by mail, date and sign it and return it promptly in the envelope provided, no matter how large or small your holdings may be. If you submit a properly executed proxy but do not indicate how you wish your shares to be voted, your shares will be voted “ FOR ” the proposal.

(1)	The Class I Board Member nominees are: G. Nicholas Beckwith, III, Kent Dixon, R. Glenn Hubbard, W. Carl Kester and Robert S. Salomon, Jr. These nominees are voted upon by the common and preferred shareholders of each respective Fund voting together as a single class, except for those Funds for which Mr. Kester is an AMPS Nominee, in which case Mr. Kester is voted upon by owners of AMPS voting as a separate class. Please see the description below under “Proposal 1 — TO ELECT BOARD MEMBER NOMINEES” for a more detailed discussion regarding the AMPS Nominee.

(2)	The AMPS Nominee standing for election is W. Carl Kester. This nominee is voted upon by the owners of AMPS voting as a separate class. Please see the description below under “Proposal 1 — TO ELECT BOARD MEMBER NOMINEES” for a more detailed discussion regarding the AMPS Nominee.

(3)	The BQR Class II Board Member nominees are: James T. Flynn and Karen. Robards. Please see the description below under “Proposal 1 — TO ELECT BOARD MEMBER NOMINEES” for a detailed discussion regarding BQR’s Board Member nominees.

(4)	The BQR Class III Board Member nominees are: Richard E. Cavanagh, Henry Gabbay and Jerrold B. Harris. Please see the description below under “Proposal 1 — TO ELECT BOARD MEMBER NOMINEES” for a detailed discussion regarding BQR’s Board Member nominees.

PROPOSAL 1—TO ELECT BOARD MEMBER NOMINEES

The purpose of Proposal 1 is to elect Board Member nominees for each Fund.

Nominees for each Fund. The Board of each Fund currently has 13 Board Members, except that the Board of BlackRock EcoSolutions Investment Trust (“BQR”) currently has six Board Members. The Funds divide their Board Members into three classes: Class I, Class II and Class III and generally only one class of Board Members stands for election each year. Except as noted below for BQR, only the Class I Board Members are standing for election this year. Each Class I Board Member elected at the meeting will serve until the later of 2011 or until his or her successor is elected and qualifies, or upon his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement or removal.

The Board of BQR currently is comprised of six members, not 13 members. In order to conform the membership of the BQR Board to the Boards of the other Funds, the Board of BQR has approved increasing its size to 13 members and reclassifying its existing Class I, Class II and Class III Board Members. As is the case with the other Funds, all BQR Class I Board Member nominees are up for election this year. However, several Class II and Class III Board Members are also up for election this year for BQR because: (a) these Board Member nominees are some of the seven new Board Members being added and therefore have not previously been elected by BQR’s shareholders; or (b) these Board Member nominees were previously in Class I but were moved to a different class as part of the reclassification approved by the Board and therefore need to be elected by BQR’s shareholders. The BQR nominees will serve in the following classes if elected: Class I — G. Nicholas Beckwith, III, Kent Dixon, R. Glenn Hubbard, W. Carl Kester and Robert S. Salomon, Jr.; Class II — Richard S. Davis, Frank J. Fabozzi, James T. Flynn and Karen P. Robards; and Class III —Richard E. Cavanagh, Kathleen F. Feldstein, Henry Gabbay and Jerrold B. Harris. The term of office of each Board Member elected to Class I, Class II and Class III will expire the later of 2011, 2009 and 2010, respectively, or when his or her successor is elected and qualifies, or upon his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement or removal.

With respect to AMPS Funds, the owners of AMPS are entitled to vote as a separate class to elect two of the Board Members (the “AMPS Nominees”) for the AMPS Fund in which they own AMPS. This means that owners of common shares are not entitled to vote in connection with the election of the AMPS Nominees. However, the owners of common shares and the owners of AMPS, voting together as a single class, are entitled to elect the remainder of the Board Member nominees. Only W. Carl Kester is standing for election this year as an AMPS Nominee.

Please refer to the table below which identifies the nominees, including any AMPS Nominees, for election to the Board of each Fund.

Biographical Information. The table below sets forth certain biographical information about the nominees for all of the Funds in a single location. Please note that, except as described above for BQR, only the Class I nominees are standing for election for the Funds. Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each Board Member is 40 East 52nd Street, New York, New York 10022. Each Board Member was nominated by the Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board of each respective Fund. Richard E. Cavanagh was selected to serve as the Chair and Karen P. Robards was selected to serve as the Vice Chair of each Board.

BlackRock Broad Investment Grade 2009 Term Trust Inc. (“BCT”) holds substantially all of its assets through its wholly-owned subsidiary, BCT Subsidiary, Inc. (“BCTS”). The Board of BCTS is identical to the Board of BCT. Accordingly, Board Member nominees elected to the Board of BCT will be appointed by BCT to the Board of BCTS.

Richard S. Davis and Henry Gabbay are “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Funds by virtue of their current or former positions with BlackRock Advisors, LLC, BlackRock Capital Management, Inc. or BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (collectively, “BlackRock Advisors”), each a wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). All of the closed-end registered investment companies advised by BlackRock Advisors, including the Funds, are referred to collectively as the “Fund Complex.”

*	Following the combination of Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, L.P. ("MLIM") and BlackRock in September 2006, the various legacy MLIM and legacy BlackRock fund boards were realigned and consolidated into three new fund boards in 2007. As a result, although the chart shows certain Board Members as joining the Boards in 2007, each Board Member first became a member of the board of directors/trustees of other legacy MLIM or legacy BlackRock funds as follows: G. Nicholas Beckwith, III since 1999; Richard E. Cavanagh since 1994; Kent Dixon since 1988; Frank J. Fabozzi since 1988; Kathleen F. Feldstein since 2005; James T. Flynn since 1996; Jerrold B. Harris since 1999; R. Glenn Hubbard since 2004; W. Carl Kester since 1998; Karen P. Robards since 1998 and Robert S. Salomon, Jr. since 1996. Board Members serve until their resignation, removal or death, or until December 31 of the year in which they turn 72.

†	Messrs. Davis and Gabbay are both “interested persons,” as defined in the 1940 Act, of the Funds based on their positions with BlackRock and its affiliates.

(1)	Class I Board Member nominee.

(2)	AMPS Nominee.

(3)	BQR Class II Board Member nominee.

(4)	BQR Class III Board Member nominee.

Compensation. Information relating to compensation paid to Board Members who are not “interested persons,” as defined in the 1940 Act, (the “Independent Board Members”) for each Fund’s most recent fiscal year is set forth in Appendix B .

Equity Securities Owned by the Board Members. Information relating to the amount of equity securities owned by the Board Members in the Funds that they are nominated to oversee, as well as certain other funds in the Fund Complex, as of May 31, 2008 is set forth in Appendix C .

Attendance of Board Members at Annual Shareholders’ Meetings. It is the policy of all the Funds to encourage Board Members to attend the annual shareholders’ meeting. All of the Board Members of each Fund attended last year’s annual shareholder’s meeting.

Board Meetings. Information relating to the number of times that the Boards met during each Fund’s most recent fiscal year is set forth in Appendix D .

Standing Committees of the Boards. Information relating to the various standing committees of the Boards is set forth in Appendix E .

In addition to the standing committees identified in Appendix E, the Boards of the AMPS Funds established an Ad Hoc Committee on AMPS (the “AMPS Committee”) in March 2008. The current members of the AMPS Committee are: Richard E. Cavanagh, Frank J. Fabozzi, Henry Gabbay, W. Carl Kester and Karen P. Robards. Since February 2008, most auction rate preferred shares, including the AMPS, have been unable to hold successful auctions and AMPS holders have suffered reduced liquidity. The AMPS Committee was formed for the purpose of monitoring issues arising from this

recent market turmoil and overseeing efforts to provide liquidity to the AMPS holders. The AMPS Committee has met eight times since its formation. To date, the BlackRock closed-end funds, including the AMPS Funds, that have issued auction market preferred shares have redeemed more than $2.4 billion of these shares, which represents approximately 25% of all auction market preferred shares outstanding for the BlackRock closed-end funds. In addition to these redemptions, the AMPS Funds are currently exploring alternative forms of leverage in order to provide liquidity to holders of AMPS, including the development of a put feature for the AMPS or issuing a new form of preferred stock that includes a put feature, which would make each eligible for purchase by money market funds.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Funds’ directors/trustees, executive officers, persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of a Fund’s equity securities, BlackRock Advisors and certain officers of BlackRock Advisors, to file reports on holdings of, and transactions in, Fund shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and to furnish the Funds with copies of all such reports. Based solely on a review of copies of such reports furnished to the relevant Fund and representations from these reporting persons, each Fund believes that its directors/trustees, executive officers, ten percent holders, BlackRock Advisors and certain officers of BlackRock Advisors met all applicable SEC filing requirements except for late Forms 3 and 4 relating to the Fund’s most recently concluded fiscal year, as listed in Appendix J for Funds with a fiscal year end of June 30 or earlier, or relating to the period between the close of the Fund’s most recently concluded fiscal year and the date of this Proxy Statement, as listed in Appendix K for Funds with a fiscal year end after June 30.

Additionally, based on a review of copies of such reports furnished to the relevant Fund and representations from these reporting persons, each municipal fixed income Fund believes that Peter Hayes, an officer of BlackRock Advisors required to file reports under Section 16(a), met all applicable SEC filing requirements except for the late Forms 3 relating to the Fund’s most recently concluded fiscal year, or relating to the period between the close of the Fund’s most recently concluded fiscal year and the date of this Proxy Statement, as applicable.

These late filings were primarily due to an administrative oversight following BlackRock’s acquisition of Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, L. P. and the subsequent integration of back-office systems.

Officers of the Funds. Information about the officers of each Fund, including their year of birth and their principal occupations during the past five years, is set forth in Appendix G .

Indemnification of Board Members and Officers. The governing documents of each Fund generally provide that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Fund will indemnify its Board Members and officers against liabilities and expenses incurred in connection with litigation in which they may be involved because of their offices with the Fund unless, as to liability to the Fund or its investors, it is finally adjudicated that they engaged in willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in their offices. In addition, the Fund will not indemnify Board Members with respect to any matter as to which Board Members did not act in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interest of the Fund or, in the case of any criminal proceeding, as to which Board Members did not have reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful. Indemnification provisions contained in a Fund’s governing documents are subject to any limitations imposed by applicable law.

The funds in the Fund Complex have also entered into a separate indemnification agreement with the Board Members of each Board (the “Indemnification Agreement”). The Indemnification Agreement (i) extends the indemnification provisions contained in a fund’s governing documents to Board Members who leave that fund’s Board and serve on an advisory board of a different fund in the Fund Complex; (ii) sets in place the terms of the indemnification provisions of a fund’s governing documents once a Board Member retires from a Board and (iii) in the case of Board Members who left the Board of a fund in connection with or prior to the Board consolidation that occurred last year as a result of the merger of BlackRock and Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc.’s investment management business, clarifies that that fund continues to indemnify the Board Member for claims arising out of his or her past service to that fund.

Your Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the election of each nominee to the Board of your Fund(s).

VOTE REQUIRED AND MANNER OF VOTING PROXIES

A quorum of shareholders is required to take action at each meeting. The holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on any matter at a meeting present in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum for purposes of conducting business on such matter. The affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares present for each Fund at the meeting at which a quorum is present and entitled to vote on a nominee is necessary to approve the respective nominee under Proposal 1 for each respective Fund.

Votes cast by proxy or in person at each meeting will be tabulated by the inspectors of election appointed for that meeting. The inspectors of election, who may be employees of a Fund, will determine whether or not a quorum is present at the meeting. The inspectors of election will treat abstentions and “broker non-votes” as present for purposes of determining a quorum. Broker non-votes occur when shares held by brokers or nominees, typically in “street name,” as to which proxies have been returned but (a) voting instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and (b) the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power or elects not to exercise discretion on a particular matter. Shares of AMPS of any Fund held in “street name” may be counted for purposes of establishing a quorum of that Fund if no instructions are received one business day before the applicable meeting or, if adjourned, one business day before the day to which the meeting is adjourned.

If you hold your shares directly (not through a broker-dealer, bank or other financial institution) and if you return a properly executed proxy card that does not specify how you wish to vote on a proposal, your shares will be voted “FOR” the Board Member nominees in Proposal 1.

Broker-dealer firms holding shares of a Fund in “street name” for the benefit of their customers and clients will request the instructions of such customers and clients on how to vote their shares on Proposal 1 before the meetings. The Funds understand that, under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), such broker-dealer firms may, without instructions from their customers and clients, grant authority to the proxies designated to vote on the election of Board Member nominees in Proposal 1 if no instructions have been received prior to the date specified in the broker-dealer firm’s request for voting instructions. A properly executed proxy card or other authorization by a beneficial owner of Fund shares that does not specify how the beneficial owner’s shares should be voted on Proposal 1 may be deemed an instruction to vote such shares in favor of the proposal. Beneficial owners who do not provide proxy instructions or who do not return a proxy card may have their shares voted by broker-dealer firms in favor of Proposal 1.

If you hold shares of a Fund through a bank or other financial institution or intermediary (called a service agent) that has entered into a service agreement with the Fund or a distributor of the Fund, the service agent may be the record holder of your shares. At the meetings, a service agent will vote shares for which it receives instructions from its customers in accordance with those instructions. A properly executed proxy card or other authorization by a shareholder that does not specify how the shareholder’s shares should be voted on a proposal may be deemed to authorize a service provider to vote such shares in favor of the proposal. Depending on its policies, applicable law or contractual or other restrictions, a service agent may be permitted to vote shares with respect to which it has not received specific voting instructions from its customers. In those cases, the service agent may, but is not be required to, vote such shares in the same proportion as those shares for which the service agent has received voting instructions. This practice is commonly referred to as “echo voting.”

If you beneficially own shares that are held in “street name” through a broker-dealer or that are held of record by a service agent, and if you do not give specific voting instructions for your shares, they may not be voted at all or, as described above, they may be voted in a manner that you may not intend. Therefore, you are strongly encouraged to give your broker-dealer or service agent specific instructions as to how you want your shares to be voted.

Approval of Proposal 1 by shareholders of a Fund will occur only if a sufficient number of votes are cast “FOR” the proposal at the Fund’s meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast. Because each Fund requires a plurality of votes to pass Proposal 1, abstentions and broker non-votes will not have an effect on the vote for Proposal 1.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board Members, including a majority of the Independent Board Members, of each Fund have selected Deloitte & Touche LLP (“D&T”) as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Funds. D&T, in accordance with Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (ISB No. 1), has confirmed to each applicable Audit Committee that it is an independent registered public accounting firm with respect to each Fund.

No representatives of D&T will be present at the meeting.

Each Audit Committee has discussed with D&T its independence with respect to the Fund and certain matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standard No. 61, as currently modified or supplemented. Each Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services by the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm is compatible with maintaining the independence of that registered public accounting firm. Each Audit Committee also reviews and discusses the audit of the Fund’s financial statements with Fund management and the independent registered public accounting firm. If any material concerns arise during the course of the audit and the preparation of the audited financial statements mailed to shareholders and included in the Fund’s Annual Report to Shareholders, the Audit Committee would be notified by Fund management or the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committees received no such notifications for any Fund. Following each Audit Committee’s review and discussion of the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm, each Audit Committee recommended to its respective Board that the Fund’s audited financial statements for the Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year (each Fund’s fiscal year end is set forth in Appendix H ) for which audited financial statements are available be included in each Fund’s Annual Report to Shareholders.

Appendix H sets forth for each Fund the fees billed by that Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm for the two most recent fiscal years for all audit and non-audit services provided directly to the Fund. The fee information in Appendix H is presented under the following captions:

     (a) Audit Fees—fees related to the audit and review of the financial statements included in annual reports and registration statements, and other services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements, including out-of-pocket expenses.

     (b) Audit-Related Fees—fees related to assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of financial statements, but not reported under “Audit Fees,” including accounting consultations, agreed-upon procedure reports, attestation reports, comfort letters, out-of-pocket expenses and internal control reviews not required by regulators.

     (c) Tax Fees—fees associated with tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning, including services relating to the filing or amendment of federal, state or local income tax returns, regulated investment company qualification reviews, tax distribution and analysis reviews and miscellaneous tax advice.

     (d) All Other Fees—fees for products and services provided to the Fund other than those reported under “Audit Fees,” “Audit-Related Fees” and “Tax Fees.”

Each Audit Committee is required to approve all audit engagement fees and terms for the Fund. Each Audit Committee also is required to consider and act upon (i) the provision by any independent accountant of any non-audit services for any Fund, and (ii) the provision by any independent accountant of non-audit services to Fund service providers and their affiliates (“Affiliated Service Providers”) to the extent that such approval (in the case of this clause (ii)) is required under applicable regulations of the SEC. The Audit Committee has implemented policies and procedures by which such services may be approved other than by the full Audit Committee. See Appendix H to this Proxy Statement for information about the fees paid by the Funds, their investment advisers, and Affiliated Service Providers to each Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm.

The Audit Committee of each Fund complies with applicable laws and regulations with regard to the pre-approval of services. Audit, audit-related and tax compliance services provided to a Fund on an annual basis require specific pre-approval by the Fund’s Audit Committee. As noted above, the Audit Committee also must approve other non-audit services provided to a Fund and those non-audit services provided to the Fund’s Affiliated Service Providers that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. Certain of these non-audit services that the Audit Committee believes are (a) consistent with the SEC’s auditor independence rules and (b) routine and recurring services that will not impair the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm may be approved by the Audit Committee without consideration on a specific case-by-case basis (“general pre-approval”). The Audit Committee is informed of each service approved subject to general pre-approval at the next regularly scheduled in-person board meeting.

For each Fund’s two most recent fiscal years, there were no services rendered by D&T to the Funds for which the pre-approval requirement was waived.

Each Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered by D&T to BlackRock Advisors and Affiliated Service Providers that were not pre-approved (not requiring pre-approval) is compatible with maintaining such auditor’s independence. All services provided by D&T to each Fund, BlackRock Advisors or Affiliated Service Providers that required pre-approval were pre-approved as required.

The Audit Committee of each Fund, except BQR, consists of the following Board Members: Karen P. Robards (Chair), Kent Dixon, Frank J. Fabozzi, James T. Flynn, W. Carl Kester and Robert S. Salomon, Jr. The Audit Committee of BQR consists of the following Board Members: Richard E. Cavanagh (Chair), Frank J. Fabozzi and Kent Dixon.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

5% Share Ownership

As of May 31, 2008, to the best of the Funds’ knowledge, the persons listed in Appendix I owned beneficially or of record the amounts of the Funds indicated.

Submission of Shareholder Proposals

A shareholder proposal intended to be presented at a future meeting of shareholders of a Fund must be received at the offices of the Fund, 40 East 52nd Street, New York, New York 10022-5911, a reasonable time before the Fund begins to print and mail its proxy materials. Timely submission of a proposal does not guarantee that such proposal will be included in a proxy statement.

The Funds anticipate holding their next annual meeting of shareholders in August 2009. If a shareholder intends to present a proposal at the 2009 annual meeting of shareholders of these Funds and desires to have the proposal included in the Fund’s proxy statement and form of proxy for that meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, the shareholder must deliver the proposal to the offices of the appropriate Fund by April 3, 2009.

Shareholders who do not wish to submit a proposal for inclusion in the Fund’s proxy statement and form of proxy for the 2009 annual meeting in accordance with Rule 14a-8 may submit a proposal for consideration at the 2009 annual meeting in accordance with the By-laws of the Funds. The By-laws for all of the Funds generally require that advance notice be given to the Fund in the event a shareholder desires to transact any business from the floor at an annual meeting of shareholders. Notice of any such business must be in writing and received at the Fund’s principal executive office between Friday, May 15, 2009 and Saturday, June 14, 2009.

For all Funds, written proposals and notices should be sent to the Secretary of the Fund, 40 East 52nd Street, New York, New York 10022.

Shareholder Communications

Shareholders who want to communicate with the Board or any individual Board Member should write their Fund to the attention of the Secretary, 40 East 52nd Street, New York, New York 10022-5911. Shareholders may communicate with the Boards electronically by sending an email to closedendfundsbod@blackrock.com. The communication should indicate that you are a Fund shareholder. If the communication is intended for a specific Board Member and so indicates, it will be sent only to that Board Member. If a communication does not indicate a specific Board Member, it will be sent to the Chair of the Governance and Nominating Committee and the outside counsel to the Independent Board Members for further distribution as deemed appropriate by such persons.

Additionally, shareholders with complaints or concerns regarding accounting matters may address letters to the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”), 40 East 52nd Street, New York, New York 10022-5911. Shareholders who are uncomfortable submitting complaints to the CCO may address letters directly to the Chair of the Audit Committee of the Board that oversees the Fund. Such letters may be submitted on an anonymous basis.

Expense of Proxy Solicitation

The cost of preparing, printing and mailing the enclosed proxy, accompanying notice and this Proxy Statement and costs in connection with the solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Funds. Additional out-of-pocket costs, such as legal expenses and auditor fees, incurred in connection with the preparation of this Proxy Statement, also will be borne by the Funds. Costs that are borne by the Funds collectively will be allocated among the Funds on the basis of a combination of their respective net assets and number of shareholder accounts, except when direct costs can be reasonably attributed to one or more specific Funds.

Solicitation may be made by letter or telephone by officers or employees of BlackRock Advisors, or by dealers and their representatives. Brokerage houses, banks and other fiduciaries may be requested to forward proxy solicitation material to their principals to obtain authorization for the execution of proxies. The Funds and BlackRock will reimburse brokerage firms, custodians, banks and fiduciaries for their expenses in forwarding this Proxy Statement and proxy materials to the beneficial owners of each Fund’s shares. The Funds and BlackRock have retained The Altman Group, Inc. (“Altman”), 60 East 42nd Street, Suite 405, New York, New York 10165, a proxy solicitation firm, to assist in the printing and distribution of proxy materials and the solicitation and tabulation of proxies. In addition, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717, will assist the Funds in the distribution of proxy materials. It is anticipated that Altman and Broadridge will be paid approximately $33,432 and $915,447, respectively, for such services (including reimbursements of out-of-pocket expenses). Altman may solicit proxies personally and by telephone. Each Fund’s portion of the foregoing expenses is not subject to any cap or voluntary agreement to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses that may otherwise apply to that Fund.

Fiscal Year

The fiscal year end of certain Funds was amended at a meeting of the Boards in May 2008. However, all information in this Proxy Statement, unless otherwise noted, relates to the pre-amended fiscal year end. The pre-amended and post-amended fiscal year end of each Fund is as set forth in Appendix H .

Privacy Principles of the Funds

BlackRock is committed to maintaining the privacy of its current and former fund investors and individual clients (collectively, “Clients”) and to safeguarding their non-public personal information. The following information is provided to help you understand what personal information BlackRock collects, how we protect that information and why in certain cases we share such information with select parties.

If you are located in a jurisdiction where specific laws, rules or regulations require BlackRock to provide you with additional or different privacy-related rights beyond what is set forth below, then BlackRock will comply with those specific laws, rules or regulations.

BlackRock obtains or verifies personal non-public information from and about you from different sources, including the following: (i) information we receive from you or, if applicable, your financial intermediary, on applications, forms or other documents; (ii) information about your transactions with us, our affiliates, or others; (iii) information we receive from a consumer reporting agency; and (iv) from visits to our web sites.

BlackRock does not sell or disclose to non-affiliated third parties any non-public personal information about its Clients, except as permitted by law or as is necessary to respond to regulatory inquiries or service Client accounts. These non-affiliated third parties are required to protect the confidentiality and security of this information and to use it only for its intended purpose.

We may share information with our affiliates to service your account or to provide you with information about other BlackRock products or services that may be of interest to you. In addition, BlackRock restricts access to non-public personal information about its Clients to those BlackRock employees with a legitimate business need for the information. BlackRock maintains physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that are designed to protect the non-public personal information of its Clients, including procedures relating to the proper storage and disposal of such information.

General

Management does not intend to present and does not have reason to believe that any other items of business will be presented at the meeting. However, if other matters are properly presented to the 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 the meeting will be available at the offices of the Funds, 40 East 52nd Street, New York, New York 10022-5911, for inspection by any shareholder during regular business hours beginning ten days prior to the date of the meeting.

Failure of a quorum to be present at any meeting will necessitate adjournment. The persons named in the enclosed proxy may also move for an adjournment of any meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies with respect to the proposal if they determine that adjournment and further solicitation are reasonable and in the best interests of shareholders. Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of the Fund present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the time of the meeting to be adjourned. Any adjourned meeting or meetings may be held without the necessity of another notice. The persons named as proxies will vote in favor of any such adjournment if they believe the adjournment and additional proxy solicitation are reasonable and in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders. For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as shares that are present at the meeting.

Please vote promptly by signing and dating each enclosed proxy card, and if received by mail, returning it in the accompanying postage-paid return envelope OR by following the enclosed instructions to provide voting instructions by telephone or over the Internet.

By Order of the Boards,

Howard B. Surloff
Secretary of the Funds

Appendix B

Compensation of the Board Members

The Board Members who are not “interested persons,” as defined in the 1940 Act, (the “Independent Board Members”) receive retainer fees which includes meeting fees (up to six meetings per year) for Board and committee meetings and are reimbursed for all out-of-pocket expenses relating to attendance at such meetings. The Funds do not provide compensation to any Board Member who is an “interested person,” as defined in the 1940 Act. Information regarding compensation, including amounts deferred, paid to the Independent Board Members for each Fund’s most recent fiscal year is set forth below.

Each Fund shall pay a pro rata portion quarterly (based on the relative net assets) of the following Board Member fees paid by the Funds in the Fund Complex for which they serve: (i) $250,000 per annum for each Independent Board Member as a retainer and (ii) $10,000 per day for each Independent Board Member for each special meeting of each Board in the Fund Complex for which they serve (i.e., any meeting, whether telephonic or in person, other than one of the six regularly scheduled meetings of each board per year) attended. Each Independent Board Member shall also be entitled to reimbursement for all of his or her out-of-pocket expenses in attending each meeting of each Board and any committee thereof. Mr. Cavanagh will receive an additional $120,000 per annum from the funds in the Fund Complex for acting as the Chair for each Board. Ms. Robards will receive an additional $40,000 per annum from the funds in the Fund Complex for acting as the Vice Chair for each Board. Mr. Fabozzi will receive an additional $20,000 per annum from the funds in the Fund Complex for acting as Chair of each Performance Oversight Committee. Ms. Feldstein will receive an additional $20,000 per annum from the funds in the Fund Complex for acting as Chair of each Compliance Committee. Mr. Hubbard will receive an additional $10,000 per annum from the funds in the Fund Complex for acting as Chair of each Governance and Nominating Committee. Mr. Dixon, Mr. Fabozzi, Mr. Flynn, Mr. Kester, Ms. Robards and Mr. Salomon will each receive an additional $25,000 per annum from the funds in the Fund Complex for their service on each Audit Committee. Ms. Robards will receive an additional $35,000 per annum from the funds in the Fund Complex for acting as the Chair of each Audit Committee. The additional compensation payable to Mr. Cavanagh, Mr. Dixon, Mr. Fabozzi, Ms. Feldstein, Mr. Flynn, Mr. Hubbard, Mr. Kester, Ms. Robards and Mr. Salomon will be allocated among the funds in the Fund Complex for which they serve based on their relative net assets.

The Independent Board Members have agreed that a maximum of 50% of each Independent Board Member’s total compensation paid by funds in the Fund Complex may be deferred pursuant to the Fund Complex’s deferred compensation plan. Under the deferred compensation plan, deferred amounts earn a return for the Independent Board Members as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in common shares of certain funds in the Fund Complex selected by the Independent Board Members. This has approximately the same economic effect for the Independent Board Members as if they had invested the deferred amounts in such other funds in the Fund Complex for which they serve. The deferred compensation plan is not funded and obligations thereunder represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of a fund. A fund may, however, elect to invest in common shares of those funds in the Fund Complex selected by the Independent Board Members in order to match its deferred compensation obligation. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Funds supervised by the Boards reimbursed Independent Board Member expenses in an aggregate amount of $37,296.

The table below sets forth the aggregate compensation paid to each Independent Board Member by each Fund during its most recently completed fiscal year (based on each Fund’s pre-amended fiscal year end).

The Audit Committees review the scope of the Funds’ audit, accounting and financial reporting policies and practices and internal controls. The Audit Committees approve, and recommend to the Independent Board Members for their ratification, the selection, appointment, retention or termination of the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firms. The Audit Committees also approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firms to its manager or adviser and any affiliated service providers if the engagement relates directly to the Fund’s operations and financial reporting of the Fund. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter for each Fund is included in Appendix F .

Governance and Nominating Committee. Each Board has a standing Governance and Nominating Committee. Each Governance and Nominating Committee, except BQR’s, is comprised of R. Glenn Hubbard, G.

Each Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for, among other things, recommending candidates to fill vacancies on the Board, scheduling and organization of Board meetings, evaluating the structure and composition of the board and determining compensation of the Fund’s non-interested Board Members. Each Governance and Nominating Committee may consider nominees recommended by a shareholder. Shareholders who wish to recommend a nominee should send recommendations to the Fund’s Secretary that include all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the election of Board Members. To have a candidate considered by the Governance and Nominating Committee, a shareholder must submit the recommendation in writing and must include:

Such recommendation must be accompanied by a written consent of each proposed candidate to being named as a nominee and to serve as a director/trustee if elected.

The Compliance Committee performs those functions enumerated in the Compliance Committee charter, including, but not limited to, supporting the Board Members in acting independently of BlackRock Advisors in pursuing the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders, receiving information on and, where appropriate, recommending policies concerning the Funds’ compliance with applicable law, and receiving reports from and making certain recommendations in respect of the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer.

Appendix F

Joint Audit Committee Charter
of
The BlackRock Closed-End Funds

A. Background

Each of the closed-end funds managed by BlackRock Advisors, LLC or its affiliates (collectively, “BlackRock”) is referred to as the “Fund”; the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Fund is referred to as the “Board of Directors” and its members are referred to as the “Directors”; and the Directors who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the Fund are referred to as the “Independent Directors”. The Board of Directors, including at least a majority of the Independent Directors, has adopted this Charter. The Audit Committee is referred to as the “Committee”.

B. Purposes of the Committee

The purpose of the Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities relating to the accounting and financial reporting policies and practices of the Fund, including:

(1) the integrity of the Fund’s financial statements;

(2) the Fund’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements;

(3) the qualifications and independence of the Fund’s independent auditors;

(4) the performance of the Fund’s internal audit function provided by its investment advisor, administrator, pricing agent or other service providers; and

(5) preparing for each Fund the report required to be included in its annual proxy statement, if any, by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

C. The Members of the Committee

The Committee shall be composed of at least three members of the Board, each of whom is an Independent Director. No member of the Committee shall directly or indirectly receive any compensation from the Fund, except compensation for services as a member or officer of the Fund’s Board or a committee of the Board. Members shall have no relationships with the Fund, BlackRock or the Fund’s administrator or custodian that may interfere with the exercise of their independence from management of the Fund. The members and the Committee chair will be elected by the full Board. The Chairman of the Board may designate an acting Chair in the absence of the Chair.

Each member shall be “financially literate” as the Board interprets such qualification in its business judgment. At least one member shall have accounting or related financial management expertise, as the Board interprets such qualification in its business judgment. The Board shall determine annually whether any member of the Committee is an “audit committee financial expert” (“ACFE”) as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR. The Board may presume that an ACFE has the requisite accounting or related financial management expertise. The designation of a person as an ACFE shall not impose any greater responsibility or liability on that person than the responsibility or liability imposed on such person as a member of the Committee.

If a member simultaneously serves on the audit committees of more than three public companies, the Board shall determine whether such simultaneous service would impair the ability of such member to effectively serve on the Fund’s audit committee. The Board has determined that simultaneous service on the Committee of each Fund shall be deemed to be equivalent to service on the audit committee of a single public company for purposes of this requirement and that such service does not impair the ability of a member to effectively serve on the Committee of any single Fund.


¹	For this purpose, compensation includes any compensation paid by a Fund or a subsidiary for services to a law firm, accounting firm, consulting firm, investment bank or financial advisory firm in which the Committee member is a partner, member, executive officer or holds a similar position.

(3) A majority of the members of the Committee, present in person or by means of a conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can communicate with each other, shall constitute a quorum. The Committee may take action by written consent if at least the number of Directors required for approval at a meeting consent to the action in writing and the written consents are filed with the records of meetings of the Committee, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

(4) The Committee may request that any Director, officer or employee of a Fund, or other persons whose advice and counsel are sought by the Committee, attend any meeting of the Committee to provide such information as the Committee requests.

These matters may also be reviewed by the Compliance Committee.

	(h)	Receive reports from each independent accountant engaged by the Fund describing (i) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality control review, peer review or Public Company Accounting Oversight Board examination of the auditing firm and any steps taken to deal with such issues, and (ii) any material issues raised by any inquiry or investigations by governmental or professional authorities of the auditing firm since the most recent report and any steps taken to deal with such issues.

H. Self-Assessment; Amendment of Charter

The Committee may from time to time recommend to the Board such amendments to this Charter as the Committee determines to be necessary or appropriate.

Note: Solely for the sake of clarity and simplicity, this Joint Audit Committee Charter has been drafted as if there is a single Fund, a single Performance Oversight Committee, a single Audit Committee, a single Governance and Nominating Committee, a single Compliance Committee and a single Board. The terms “Performance Oversight Committee,” “Audit Committee,” “Governance and Nominating Committee,” “Compliance Committee” and “Board” mean each “Performance Oversight Committee,” “Audit Committee,” “Governance and Nominating Committee,” “Compliance Committee” and “Board” as it relates to its respective Fund, unless the context otherwise requires. Each Performance Oversight Committee, Audit Committee, Governance and Nominating Committee, Compliance Committee and Board of each Fund shall act separately and in the best interests of its respective Fund.

F-7

Note: Solely for the sake of clarity and simplicity, this Joint Governance and Nominating Committee Charter has been drafted as if there is a single Fund, a single Performance Oversight Committee, a single Audit Committee, a single Governance and Nominating Committee, a single Compliance Committee and a single Board. The terms “Performance Oversight Committee,” “Audit Committee,” “Governance and Nominating Committee,” and “Compliance Committee” and “Board” mean each “Performance Oversight Committee,” “Audit Committee,” “Governance and Nominating Committee” and “Compliance Committee” and “Board” as it relates to its respective Fund, unless the context otherwise requires. Each Performance Oversight Committee, Audit Committee, Governance and Nominating Committee and Compliance Committee and Board of each Fund shall act separately and in the best interests of its respective Fund.
