Port Authority Services
Conduit Financing
Southeastern Ohio Port Authority (SeOPA) can issue bonds on behalf of a borrower for the purpose of making the proceeds available to the borrower for certain projects. SeOPA works in partnership with traditional lending institutions and its public partners to provide the most advantageous financing for a project. Ultimately, the financial strength of the transaction is based upon the creditworthiness of the underlying borrower (and any credit enhancement available in the deal).
Property Assessed Clean Energy Financing
Property Assessed Clean Energy (“PACE”) financing presents a way to finance energy efficiency, renewable energy, and water conservation upgrades to buildings. PACE can pay for new heating and cooling systems, lighting improvements, solar panels, water pumps, insulation, and more for almost any property – homes, commercial, industrial, non-profit and agricultural.
Structured Lease
The Southeastern Ohio Port Authority enjoys an exemption from sales tax on building and construction materials that are incorporated into its facilities. By entering into a structured lease transaction with a company, the Port Authority can pass that exemption on to the company.
