Description/Abstract The Village of Soldiers Grove, population 547, is constructing the nation's first solar-heated central business district. Forced to evacuate the floodplain of the temperamental Kickapoo River, the village is creating a new central business district on higher ground, about half a mile from its old flood-damaged downtown. The village is requiring that each of the 40 new industrial, commercial and municipal structures receive at least half its heat from the sun. This booklet presents a case study of the Soldiers Grove project, focussing on the factors which led the village to its commitment to solar and the path it followed in implementing its project.
