Pulaski County’s investments had a good year in 2018. During Tuesday’s board of finance meeting, Treasurer Teresa Bryant reported that the county earned almost $73,000 in interest off of its $4,250,000 in investments, plus more than $316,000 from its cash management account. “The last half of 2018 has been really extremely good, compared to what it has been,” she said.
Bryant added that it’s time to seek bids from banks interested in handling the county’s cash management account for the next two years, read more here and learn about the expert option on their investment.
