Jefferson County is located on the upper Texas Gulf Coast about 90 miles east of Houston, with Beaumont as the county seat and largest city. Home to more than 256,000 residents and forming the core of the Beaumont-Port Arthur metropolitan area, the county’s economy is anchored by deepwater ports along the Neches and Sabine rivers, petrochemical manufacturing, shipping and shipbuilding, healthcare, and rice and cattle production.
In March 2017, Jefferson County authorized the use of Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) financing and selected Lone Star PACE as the program administrator. This means developers and property owners throughout Jefferson County now have access to a powerful financing tool that supports long-term investment in energy efficiency, water conservation, resiliency improvements and renewable energy systems.
