Garden State C-PACE Program

The Garden State C-PACE Program works by enabling eligible commercial, industrial, agricultural, and certain multi-family residential real property owners to access financing to undertake these kinds of improvements on their properties and repay the financing through the payment of an additional assessment to their municipality, similar to their real property tax. Projects financed through the Program will be secured by a special assessment lien on the improved real property. Program guidelines require all C-PACE developments pay prevailing wage.
