I-75 ESID

The I-75 Energy Special Improvement District (ESID) was originally created as a collaboration between the City of Monroe and Liberty Township in 2020. Since then, the ESID has expanded to include the cities of Fairfield, Mason, and West Chester Township.

The ESID is a transformative initiative designed to support energy efficiency and renewable energy projects for commercial, industrial, and institutional properties along the I-75 corridor. This district enables property owners to access Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing to fund energy-related improvements, such as HVAC upgrades, solar installations, and advanced insulation systems. By leveraging PACE, property owners can repay project costs through a special assessment added to their property tax bill, reducing upfront expenses and aligning payments with long-term energy savings.

The ESID facilitates economic development by driving energy efficiency investments that create jobs, reduce operational costs for businesses, and enhance environmental sustainability. The program serves as a powerful tool for attracting businesses to the region by offering a competitive edge through reduced energy expenditures. With its alignment to the Butler County Finance Authority's strategic goals, the I-75 ESID not only accelerates investment in clean energy infrastructure but also strengthens the local economy by supporting resilient and innovative business practices.
