Decarbonization for Co-ops: NYC’s First C-PACE Financing Case Study
This session explores NYC’s first C-PACE financing for a co-op, highlighting how a mission-driven financing approach unlocked decarbonization for a traditionally hard-to-serve building type. Through a recent, real-world case study, presenters will share lessons learned navigating legal, financial, and governance barriers, and demonstrate how co-ops can access capital to meet Local Law 97 emissions goals and other mandates under the Climate Mobilization Act.
