With over 50 years of experience supporting education, healthcare, economic development and job creation across Louisiana, the Louisiana Public Facilities Authority (LPFA) is using its legacy to support the future of Louisiana.
Established in 1974 as a nonprofit statewide public trust and a conduit issuer of tax-exempt and taxable bonds, the LPFA has financed over 850 Louisiana projects totaling $32.5 billion through 2025. By enabling qualifying projects and entities to access tax-exempt bond financing and lower borrowing costs, the Authority plays a pivotal role in strengthening economic and community development statewide. The LPFA also develops innovative partnerships with federal, state and local government stakeholders that improve outcomes throughout Louisiana.
Over the last five decades, LPFA financed projects have supported hospitals, universities, charter schools, industrial expansions, economic development initiatives, and essential lower-cost programs for state and local governmental entities. Projects financed through the LPFA have helped generate more than 323,900 jobs and $7.5 billion in additional personal earnings over the last half-century, underscoring the Authority’s transformative investment and sustained economic impact.
