HUNTSVILLE, Texas — The City of Huntsville Council unanimously adopted a resolution at its May 2025 meeting expressing the city's intent to establish a Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) program, a financing mechanism that can enable property owners to fund energy-efficiency and renewable-energy improvements through assessments attached to their properties.
