SUMMARY:MEREDA’s Morning Menu – Financing a Sustainable Future with 
 C-PACE: An important New Addition to the Capital Stack
DESCRIPTION:Last year Maine’s Legislature authorized the use of a new 
 loan product called Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE). 
 C-PACE loans offer favorable terms for developers and property owners to
  enable clean energy upgrades to commercial properties and multifamily p
 roperties. C-PACE can enable longer-term\, fixed-rate\, non-recourse fin
 ancing for both ground up construction projects and retrofits to existin
 g buildings\, and can improve owner returns\, decrease interest rate vol
 atility\, and reduce emissions within the CRE sector. C-PACE is currentl
 y active in 32 states\, and has been used to fund over $2.5 billion wort
 h of projects nationally since the program’s inception in 2009\, and i
 s expected to be a highly useful tool to the Maine development community
 .\n\nHear from presenters Michael Doty of Nuveen Green Capital\, the lea
 ding C-PACE provider nationwide\, on the variety of possible use cases\,
  how it can be accretive to the capital stack\, and specific projects th
 ey have recently funded\, Mark Stasium from Camden National Bank\, on ho
 w they view C-PACE from a structural and risk perspective\, and James Ne
 al from Efficiency Maine\, the statewide administrator of C-PACE in Main
 e\, who is currently finalizing a rulemaking and will provide a status u
 pdate on the launch of the program. The presentation will be followed by
  a healthy discussion and Q&amp\;A\, and will provide attendees with the
  understanding of how they can access this exciting form of financing as
  it becomes available. Paul Peck\, Founder of LWS Development\, and atto
 rney at Drummond &amp\; Drummond will moderate the event.\n\nThe event i
 s sponsored by Norway Savings Bank.
