TATE COUNTY, MS
Energy Project & Courthouse Renovation
Problem
With the oldest continuously-used courthouse in the state (Tate County) experiencing envelope issues and needing major HVAC repairs/replacement, the county's Board of Supervisors & Administrator needed a unique way for the county to tackle the aforementioned issues at the courthouse. The county's leadership also desired a partner with expertise in not only government infrastructure but also with public finance packaging.
Solution
PATH delivered a project that included comprehensive upgrades to the county's lighting infrastructure as a foundation for energy savings. The energy efficient measures generated substantial savings for Tate County and created the opportunity to redesign/replace the entire HVAC system at the courthouse and eliminate future courthouse water intrusion issues (new gutter system and envelope repairs). Additionally, PATH facilitated the re-painting of the courthouse exterior to improve the overall aesthetics of this historic building that had experienced accelerated wear & tear.
