PACER Fund in Montpelier Has About Four Openings Left This Year

By The Blackford Ledger The Blackford Ledger

From the Montpelier Redevelopment Commission meeting on October 12, 2026

Montpelier's PACER façade-Improvement Program has nearly used up this year's money, with redevelopment officials saying only about four openings remain.

Officials said the program has used or obligated about $110,000 of its $150,000 budget. In June, the city was reporting $81,000 in projects with room for more. Monday's update shows the program moved much closer to its annual cap over the summer and early fall.

The commission also read a thank-you note from a participant who said the PACER structure helped cover upfront improvement costs.

The update did not change the program's rules, but it showed steady demand for the city's property-improvement incentive.
