A triple victory for Pennsylvania

Gov. Wolf’s administration said the PACE program will help small businesses save money on electricity and water bills. The program will also boost the state’s economy through the creation of good paying clean energy jobs.Additionally,  it will make Pennsylvania’s air and water cleaner. In other words, the PACE program is a triple win for Pennsylvanians.
