CGB Green Liberty Notes is facilitating investments to support Connecticut’s green economy through a crowdfunded debt offering. Managed by Connecticut Green Bank, the initiative directs capital toward energy efficiency projects that help small businesses, municipalities, and state agencies reduce their energy costs. By leveraging private investment, this program strengthens communities, advances sustainability, and expands access to clean energy solutions. Green Liberty Notes provides a pathway for everyday investors to participate in funding these projects, fostering economic and environmental benefits while supporting market transformation in green investing.
