"Through our partnership with MD Consulting, Greenworks Lending has been able to finance several Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) projects in Maryland, including the very first of its kind in Baltimore City. C-PACE is a state legislated program that allows for the financing of energy saving capital investments made by commercial property owners through a special tax assessment. Thanks to the unique outreach strategies MDSC helped Greenworks Lending grow throughout the region. As Greenworks and C-PACE continue to become more popular we hope MD Consulting does the same."
