Around Suffield: Clean energy loans, the Randolph Fair and a pirate wedding

The Suffield Township Trustees Tom Calcei, Jared Phillip and Jeff Eldreth along with Lori Calcei, Fiscal Officer, met in July. One of their important actions was that they, working with the Portage County Port Authority, voted to establish the county’s first Energy Special Investment District (ESID) which will allow businesses to take advantage of low-interest Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) loans.

PACE financing is a program with great benefits, made just for investments in energy efficiency upgrades to commercial properties in Ohio. Once the ESID is completed, other Portage County communities will be able to join, and businesses in Suffield and those in other communities can use these financing options for qualifying projects.
