What is it?
Established in 1991, the Florida Local Government Finance Program is a flexible, low-interest, short- to medium-term loan program geared toward helping local governments meet their many infrastructure and capital needs. Funding acquired through the program has been used for landfills, water and sewer facilities, courthouses, spring training complexes, library construction, beach re-nourishment, and more.
