Wilson County establishes PACE program after public hearing
Summary
The commissioners voted Sept. 23 to adopt a resolution establishing the Wilson County PACE (Property Assessed Clean Energy) program after a required public hearing; no public speakers opposed and the resolution passed unanimously.
Wilson County Commissioners Court voted Sept. 23 to establish a county PACE program, a financing tool that lets property owners repay energy efficiency or renewable‑energy investments through a property assessment.
Jack Belt of the Pay Texas PACE Authority told the court the commission had corrected calendar dates after an earlier procedural error and held the required public hearing before final action. No members of the public registered comment during the hearing. Commissioner Aiken moved to adopt the resolution to establish the program; the motion carried.
The court had previously adopted a resolution of intent; today's vote formally creates the program and allows Wilson County to participate in the PACE structure managed through the authority. County staff and the authority said next steps include program implementation details and public outreach.
The vote was recorded as a formal resolution to establish the program; commissioners did not take additional implementing motions at the meeting.
