Bowie County Commissioners Court approved Lone Star PACE as an administrator of its C-PACE program during its Feb. 24 meeting, which will have the following impact:

• Lone Star PACE can now partner with property owners in Bowie County to implement C-PACE financing, which supports resource conservation by helping fund energy and water-efficient upgrades at commercial buildings.
• Property owners will gain increased access to flexible, long-term financing that can fill up to 35% of the capital stack, making sustainability upgrades more accessible.
• Increased access to C-PACE financing will drive redevelopment, attract investment and support the county’s continued growth.
• Expansion of the program will support local workforce development by spurring new projects that require skilled labor in the construction, engineering and energy efficiency sectors.

Ryan McCormick, program administrator of Lone Star PACE, said: “We are honored to join Bowie County as an administrator of its Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy program. The addition will bring more jobs and prosperity to the county’s robust and diverse economy while simultaneously reducing strain on the state’s energy and water resources – all without the help of taxpayer dollars.”

Lone Star PACE is an authorized C-PACE program administrator led by registered municipal advisors with experience financing more than $45 billion in public benefit projects nationwide. The company works closely with property owners, municipalities and capital providers to facilitate the C-PACE process, which has resulted in $338M in C-PACE assessments for projects worth a collective $1.6B.

Glenn Silva, COO of Lone Star PACE, said: “Demand for C-PACE financing has exploded in recent years due to capital markets dislocation happening alongside a renewed focus on sustainability and resiliency in commercial real estate. Bowie County’s commitment to C-PACE ensures it will have adequate resources to support its growing economy, and we are honored to be part of the area’s promising future.”
