Helping Communities Meet the Needs of Their Citizens
The Improvement Authority was established in 2002 by the Morris County Board of Freeholders to provide towns and school boards with an innovative method of funding projects such as facility construction or renovation and the purchase or leasing of equipment and vehicles, while also saving tax dollars.
One of the exciting projects undertaken by the Improvement Authority is a countywide Renewable Energy Initiative called the Morris Model.
The MCIA has partnered with five school districts and the county government for a pilot program that will install solar panels at 14 schools and five county facilities. The average savings on energy bills after the first year will be 35 percent for the school districts and more than 20 percent for the county.
The Morris Model is financed by the MCIA, with bonds guaranteed by the county, allowing our partners to reduce a portion of their energy bills without incurring any out-of-pocket costs.
Learn more about the Morris Model and the other innovative ways the Morris County Improvement Authority is helping communities meet the needs of their citizens.
Sincerely,
Bill Chegwidden
Freeholder Liaison
