Air Quality Partnership Excellence Award

The Greater Valley Forge Transportation Management Association nominated Chester County for the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission’s award.

“It is an honor for the county to receive this award for our efforts – our initiatives and best practices – to reduce air pollution,” said Chester County Commissioners’ Chair Michelle Kichline. “Our new comprehensive plan, Landscapes3, specifically calls for the advancement of multimodal transportation options that reduce congestion, support a resilient and clean energy network, and help address climate change.”

The Air Quality Partnership program is run through DVRPC. The program is a coalition of private companies, government agencies, and nonprofits dedicated to raising awareness of air quality in the Delaware Valley and promoting actions that people and organizations can take to reduce air pollution and protect public health.

C-PACE

The Chester County Commissioners recently approved a resolution calling for the county to participate in C-PACE, a clean energy financing program for commercial properties.

C-PACE, which stands for Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy, is a financial tool for commercial property owners to obtain low-cost, long-term financing for energy efficiency, renewable energy, and water conservation projects. C-PACE can facilitate a loan for a project by placing a voluntary lien on the property that repays the costs of the upgrades.

“Chester County is the first county in the Southeastern PA region to adopt this program that will support family-sustaining jobs and the Chester County business community, as well as improve the sustainability of our built environment,” said Chester County Commissioners’ Chair Michelle Kichline.
