Mesa County is one step closer to ensuring a sustainable future for our community by updating utilities in County facilities. During their July 2 public hearing, Commissioners approved a $11.5 million contract amendment with Schneider Electric to perform modernizations, capital improvements, and other equipment upgrades that will significantly increase the energy efficiency of County buildings. This work will be funded through a tax-exempt lease-purchase agreement, also approved at the hearing, for no more than $12 million to be paid over the course of 20 years, which will be paid for using savings on utility bills resulting from the upgrades.
