Eau Claire Has a Plan to Fight Climate Change, Unlike Governor
Next City
- Created an online permitting checklist, increasing transparency for community members and solar installers
- Reviewed local zoning codes and identified restrictions that intentionally or unintentionally prohibit solar PV development
- Provided clear guidance for solar in historic and special use districts on the community’s solar landing page
- Shared Renew Wisconsin’s interactive solar map on the community’s solar landing page
- Provided Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing for eligible properties
By having this designation at this elite level sends a signal to those folks that are aware in the solar industry that, OK, Eau Claire is a place that embraces solar that makes it effective to do that work here.
