 10 energy systems [and], energy efficiency measures, water efficiency meas-
 11 ures, and resiliency improvements throughout the state; that measures to
 12 achieve reductions in energy use, reduce emissions, and scale distrib-
 13 uted solar energy and beneficial electrical equipment in residential and
 14 commercial buildings, specifically have been identified as critical
 15 areas for investment to achieve these goals; and that municipalities
 16 would fulfill an important public purpose by [providing] facilitating
 17 market-based financing loans to property owners for the installation of
 18 renewable energy systems [and], energy efficiency measures, water effi-
 19 ciency measures, and resiliency improvements.
 20 § 2. Section 119-ff of the general municipal law, as amended by chap-
