According to the agency, the County's strong budgetary flexibility and available reserves supported the decision to upgrade the rating. In addition, Standard and Poor's cited optimistic expenditure savings and revenue increase projections, and additional flexibility provided by St. Johns County's relatively low tax structure as factors that contributed to the rating increase. The agency also cited what they consider very strong liquidity in the County's finances, good financial practices, and strong management conditions.
