July 2025 Newsletter

Cities of Winston-Salem, Greensboro, Davidson Hosting a Direct Pay Roundtable

Wednesday, July 30

10:00am - 12:00pm

Public Meeting Room at the Bryce A Stuart Building

100 E 1st Street, Winston-Salem, NC

RSVP HERE

Join us for this discussion to learn more about Direct Pay and how your organization can get the tools and resources necessary to file for its payment. The presentation will also include best practices to keep in mind when preparing for future projects. We are specifically targeting entities that have placed – or will place – projects in service in 2025. Eligible projects include solar, geothermal, EV chargers, EV purchases, and more.

Elective Pay is a mechanism that allows tax-exempt entities – such as municipalities, public school districts, nonprofits, houses of worship, and more – to access federal clean energy tax credits and receive a direct payment for a portion of their project costs. Many of these organizations have already installed solar energy, purchased electric vehicles, or installed EV chargers, and now need to file a tax return – often for the first time – to receive these funds that they are entitled to.

Hosted in partnership with the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality and Southeast Energy Efficiency Alliance on Elective Pay (also known as Direct Pay).

 

Disaster Recovery Financial Administration

Training Opportunity

The Piedmont Triad Regional Council (PTRC), in partnership with the North Carolina Association of Regional Councils of Government (NCARCOG), is excited to announce a six-hour eLearning course designed to equip local communities with the knowledge and tools to prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies and disasters. Each user license provides individual access to the course for one learner through June 2026. The course can be taken at the user’s pace and includes learning activities, assessments, and a certificate upon successful completion of the course. 

Specifically, the training covers how to:

  • Secure disaster recovery funds to ensure local governments address local and regional priorities
  • Build and maintain necessary financial systems and staff support to administer and efficiently report disaster recovery funds utilization
  • Incorporate recovery staffing and business practices into day-to-day financial administration operation

Staff members that may find this training useful: Finance Managers/Directors; Emergency Management Directors, Town Managers, Assistant Town Managers, other personnel directly involved with disaster recovery.

For more information about the Disaster Recovery Financial Administration Training, please contact Alex Bennett at abennett@ptrc.org
