Providing local governments an opportunity to acquire maximum returns

LGIP is an investment mechanism authorized by the Legislature and signed into law on May 13, 1983, to provide local governments an opportunity to acquire maximum returns on investments by pooling available funds with funds from other political subdivisions.

  • As of June 2023, there are more than 1,000 accounts within the pool, totaling more than $11.8 billion.
  • Participants include 107 municipalities, 71 school districts, 40 counties, 66 special purpose districts and more.
