Businesses missing out as Flathead County drags heels on Adopting the Commercial Property Assessed Capital Enhancements program, known as C-PACE
Gov. Greg Gianforte signed into law the Commercial Property Assessed Capital Enhancements program, known as C-PACE, following the 2021 legislative session. The financing offers Montana businesses the chance to use savings from energy and water efficiency upgrades to cover the cost of installation. The cost of the upgrades — which can range from new HVAC systems and boilers to solar panels and lighting — is repaid as an assessment on the property’s annual tax bill. The arrangement stays with the property even if it’s sold, according to the Department of Energy, creating a long-term investment opportunity. What’s more, the program is tax neutral with no financial exposure to cities or counties.
It appears that’s what it’s going to take to get the attention of commissioners Brad Abell [email protected] (406) 758-5503 and Pam Holmquist [email protected] (406) 758-5503 , who remain steadfast in their disinterest. In fact, Abell told the Inter Lake he needs to be personally contacted on the matter — a petition and testimony from the chamber president simply won’t do.
“I want specific business owners to come to me,” Abell demanded.
