Chicago C-PACE Program
Grantya researchSee program
Chicago has its own C-PACE program (Chicago Municipal Code Chapter 13-8) separate from the statewide IL C-PACE. Chicago C-PACE covers commercial, industrial, and multi-family properties within city limits. Same structure as statewide: off-balance-sheet, 100% project financing, repaid through property tax over 10–30 years. City of Chicago is one of the most active C-PACE markets in the Midwest.
