How TX-PACE Can Help Advance Commercial and Industrial Projects
When a local employer is weighing a facility expansion or a developer is working to make a redevelopment project pencil out, knowing which financing options to bring to the table can help. Texas PACE Authority invites TEDC members to Securing Innovative Project Financing with TX-PACE, a live webinar on Wednesday, November 18, 2026, at 2 p.m. Central.
With a focus on Southeast Texas, the session will explore how Texas Property Assessed Clean Energy (TX-PACE) financing can fund eligible energy and water efficiency improvements in commercial and industrial properties, including new developments and renovations.
For economic development professionals working on business retention, expansion, and redevelopment, the discussion will cover what makes a project eligible, where TX-PACE fits in the capital stack, and how property owners and developers can get started. Attendees will also learn how owners and developers use TX-PACE to support project financing and recapitalization.
The panel features Karl Parker, P.E., MBA, Business Development Manager at Texas PACE Authority, Dr. Teresa Smith, Director of PACE Transactions at Texas PACE Authority, and Brian Adams, Managing Director at PACE Equity Finance.
