Hays County has become the 12th local government to establish a Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) program in Texas, according to a press release from the Greater San Marcos Partnership (GSMP).
PACE is a financing program enacted in 2013 that enables owners of commercial and industrial properties to obtain low-cost, long-term loans for water conservation, energy-efficiency improvements, and renewable retrofits.
Under the leadership of the Hays County Commissioners Court, commercial PACE is now available throughout the county, including Buda, Dripping Springs, Kyle, San Marcos and other communities throughout the county. Hays County joins Travis and Williamson counties to form a three-county central Texas PACE region along the I-35 Corridor.
