Fredericksburg considering energy-efficiency program
A proposed ordinance would allow energy-efficiency upgrades in the City of Fredericksburg to be financed through a program called Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE). City Council could take action on the ordinance in the coming weeks. Arlington County is currently the only Virginia locality with a C-PACE program. This program could be used as part of the stadium financing package.
Virginia's Department of Housing and Community Development put together this video that highlights downtown Fredericksburg's momentum and the various public-private partnerships that have helped.
