Communities and PACE

While Commercial PACE financing is a great tool for businesses, the impact PACE has on communities as a whole cannot be ignored. Show Me PACE works with communities to finance projects that advance them in their clean energy goals and create jobs. PACE also aims to work with local labor unions, women, and minority-owned businesses. Utilizing these labor pools helps create a more diverse workforce that will bring Missouri closer to our clean energy goals.

In 2021, Show Me PACE joined PACENation in a commitment to creating a diverse and equitable marketplace for PACE financing. This means reaching and supporting underserved communities and working with underrepresented populations. Show Me PACE aims to use 25% of women or minority contractors for PACE projects, a goal which is currently being exceeded by 11%.
