We’re helping Connecticut communities strengthen local economies and build resilience through clean energy and resilience solutions. The Connecticut Green Bank supports economic developers, municipalities, and property owners by driving investment, supporting businesss districts, and advancing projects that help communities thrive.
In partnership with Sustainable CT, the Connecticut Green Bank offers no‑cost assistance to support C‑PACE workshops. These workshops help economic developers and municipalities connect local businesses with financing that supports energy upgrades, resilience, and long‑term economic vitality. Schedule a workshop through Sustainable CT.
