Helping property owners invest in energy-efficient, sustainable buildings—without the upfront costs. Waynesboro is a PACE-enabled jurisdiction and proud to offer Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) financing to help commercial, industrial, and multifamily property owners improve their buildings’ energy efficiency, resiliency, and overall performance.
