Granite County adopts countywide C-PACE financing program
Summary
Commissioners approved a countywide Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C‑PACE) program by resolution, allowing qualified property owners across the county to use the financing tool even if a town has not separately approved it.
The Granite County Commission voted to adopt a countywide C‑PACE (Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy) program by resolution on Tuesday, enabling eligible property owners in the county to use the financing tool without separate town approval.
The resolution — referenced in the meeting as Granite County resolution establishing a Granite County PACE program (resolution 2025‑5) — passed after discussion and public comment. Resident Elena Galiano asked whether the town of Phillipsburg had approved the program; county staff and a county official clarified that the county’s adoption makes the program available to any qualifying property owner in Granite County even if a municipality has not separately enacted the program. “So, in fact…if the county does, approve it, anyone in the county that qualifies to use the program,” a county official said during discussion.
Why it matters: C‑PACE programs allow property owners to finance energy-efficiency, renewable-energy, and certain resiliency upgrades through assessments linked to the property. The county-level adoption creates access for businesses countywide, including properties inside towns that have not separately agreed to participate.
Public comment and clarifications: Elena Galiano voiced concern about whether the town of Phillipsburg had agreed to the program and cited the Stevens Hotel as a local example; county staff responded that the town had not approved a separate town ordinance but that county approval does not exclude town properties from participating if the property owner chooses to use C‑PACE financing.
Outcome: The commission approved the resolution on a voice vote. County staff said they will proceed with implementation steps and coordination with county departments.
Votes at a glance: Resolution establishing the Granite County PACE program — approved on voice vote by the commissioners present.
