Pursuant to the authority granted in Virginia Code § 15.2-958.3, as amended, any Virginia locality may enact an ordinance authorizing
contracts to provide loans for the initial acquisition and installation of eligible
clean energy improvements with free and willing property owners of both existing properties
and new construction. Such loans may be secured by the placement of a voluntary special
assessment lien against the property. After due consideration, the Board of Supervisors
hereby determines that a commercial property assessed clean energy financing program
will facilitate and encourage the renovation of existing buildings and foster the
construction of new buildings with energy or water efficient features or renewable
energy facilities, improving the general welfare of, and promoting economic growth
in, the County. (14-19-127.)
