~. ', j 1 <br />FEATURED NEWS <br />PROPERTY ASSESSED CLEAN <br />ENERGY (PACE) <br />PROPERTY ASSESSED CLEAN <br />ENERGY (PACE) is a mechanism <br />that allows property owners, primarily <br />commercial, seeking to make major <br />energy efficiency investments to <br />opt in to a special tax or assessment <br />district. Property owners borrow <br />money to finance energy-efficient <br />improvements and/or renewable- <br />energy equipment and repay over <br />time through a line item in their <br />property tax bill. The repayment <br />obligation is attached to the property <br />not the individual. A platform is being <br />created through a statewide steering <br />committee to provide guidance <br />ensuring PACE can be replicated <br />across the state. This platform of <br />stakeholders is to collaborate, <br />communicate and investigate the <br />need for program enhancements <br />and potential legislative changes. The <br />PACE steering committee has formed <br />several subcommittees focusing on <br />finance, program design, marketing/ <br />outreach, government legislation <br />and technical/quality assurance and <br />training. A webinar is being planned <br />for late-November or early-December <br />to update people around the state <br />who have an interest in PACE. An <br />announcement will be on the DEED <br />website and e-mails will go out <br />regarding the details. <br />POSITIVELY <br />~~~SU~ <br />Department o(Employment and Economic Development <br />MINNESOTA JOB SKILLS <br />PARTNERSHIP AWARDS <br />Third Quarter 2010 <br />APPLICANT/EDUCATIONAL <br />INSTITUTION BENEFITING BUSINESS(ES) <br />AWARD <br />PineTechnical College Metal-Matic $49,921 <br />Dunwoody Hood Packaging & Walter G.
