The Butler County treasurer is looking at the possibility of making long term investments with county money.
Diane Marburger says a new study will look at the county’s accounts and identify if there is any money that they need to lockdown. The study will cost the county $18,500.
She says while it’s not the county’s primary objective to invest money, interest rates are at a point where it’s makes sense to look at if it’s a worthwhile venture.
Marburger also says that the county has more than enough cash flow and would be able to meet all of its requirements, while still investing for the future.
“We haven’t had this much cash ever,” Marburger said.
