ESID

Van Wert’s Energy Special Improvement District (ESID) provides businesses and property owners with an innovative tool to finance energy efficiency, renewable energy, and water conservation projects through Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing. By leveraging the ESID, companies can invest in cost-saving improvements with long-term, fixed-rate financing that is repaid through a special assessment on their property tax bill. This program strengthens Van Wert’s commitment to sustainability, lowers operating costs for businesses, and enhances the community’s overall competitiveness.
