Ann Arbor officials working to launch first PACE program in Michigan under new state law
In one of her last remaining acts as governor, Jennifer Granholm signed into law today a piece of Ann Arbor-inspired legislation that will help business owners throughout Michigan finance energy efficiency improvements on their properties.
Granholm penned her name to House Bill 5640, better known as the PACE legislation, during a ceremonial bill signing in her office on the second floor of the state capitol building.
Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County officials have been pushing for the state to approve a PACE law — which stands for Property Assessed Clean Energy — for several months. State Rep. Rebekah Warren, D-Ann Arbor, sponsored the bill that made it possible.
