City Offers Sustainable Energy Financing Through PACE Program

The City is a designated Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) district. PACE is an economic development tool that provides financing to implement energy efficiency, water efficiency and renewable energy projects in commercial, industrial, multi-family, nonprofit and faith-based buildings. Property owners benefit from long term, 100% up front capital to invest in money-saving technologies through a voluntary special assessment.

Mt. Pleasant is the 57th local government in the state to join Lean & Green Michigan’s PACE district. Local businesses now have access to a statewide market of lenders and contractors who can help make clean energy projects a reality – all with no taxpayer money.

Brian Kench, Mt. Pleasant Building Official shared, “The PACE program provides an opportunity for efficient and energy renewable projects to become a reality in our community. Property owners will now benefit from up front capital, making sustainable energy development projects economically viable.”
