EAGLE — The Eagle County commissioners are considering a ballot proposal that would create an improvement district to raise money for loans to property owners for energy efficiency and renewable energy projects.
The commissioners plan a public hearing on the proposal Tuesday. The county will decide whether to ask voters in November to approve a mechanism for issuing up to $10 million in special assessment bonds.
Loans to businesses and homeowners to add renewable energy systems or increase energy efficiency would be funded through the special assessment district that property owners could opt into.
Loans would be repaid through a special tax assessment on the property improvements.
