Springfield Park District Goes Solar | Springfield News

Springfield Park District is investing up to $2 million in solar power—plus new roofs and HVAC systems—at the Nelson Center and Fun Shop, all without raising taxes thanks to an alternative revenue bond. They’re tapping federal rebates and Illinois’ clean energy goals to fund this major upgrade, which will install 728 panels at the Nelson Center and 88 at the Fun Shop, generating over 500,000 kWh annually and saving nearly $50,000 in energy costs by 2027. This isn’t just a roof replacement—it’s a bold step toward sustainability, turning necessary repairs into a long-term green investment.
