Remember the Yes on 1A Campaign I volunteered for? Well it passed and now $40 million is available to Boulder County Residents and Business Owners in the form of loans attached to property taxes. The money can be used for energy upgrades or renewable energy. Check it out today! Applications are due in April.

Call me at 303 442 3700 if you are interested in considering an energy efficient remodel.

Mandatory Workshops for all potential ClimateSmart Loan Program residential applicants will be offered on various dates from Saturday, March 9, through Tuesday, March 31 throughout Boulder County.

The ClimateSmart Loan Program provides a financing option for owners of residential and commercial properties in most of Boulder County for the purpose of implementing specified energy efficiency and renewable energy measures.

The workshops will cover program requirements, eligible measures, the loan application process, project timelines/deadlines, and other key information related to the program. There will also be time for a question and answer session. All Workshops are FREE and participants may attend any one of the workshops offered.
