This geocoin commemorates and celebrates an ambitious project by the community of West Union, Iowa located in the beautiful Northeast corner of our state. Our town became a Main Street Community in 2006, was selected as a Green Pilot Community in 2008 and was named an Iowa Great Place in 2009!
Our project is a downtown Green Streetscape Project incorporating porous pavers for our sidewalks and streets, rain gardens, bioswales and implementing a district wide geothermal system. By incorporating these green components, it our hope to better manage storm water runoff as well as utilizing effective energy solutions for our downtown community.
Our motto, "Deeply Connected" reflects our quality of life values of being connected to our agricultural history, our strong sense of community and our commitment to our past, present and vision for the future!
We broke ground October 2010 and plan to complete the renovation by 2012.

Picked up your coin today and moved it down the trail a bit. It's in a gorgeous area of the Kettle Moraine, along the Ice Age Trail. The fall colors were beautiful today
Thank you for sending this coin out to educate - I had never heard of a project like your town's and think it sounds wonderful. The idea of porous sidewalks and streets is completely new to me but makes me think "Well, why didn't I think of that?!? and That should be the norm!" Very very cool. Hope I see the porous pavement somewhere soon - or, rather, everywhere soon.
Happy caching to you!

Dropped in outrageously cool Football cache that hangs 40' high off the forest floor and must be retrieved via a fun pulley system! It oughta be safe from muggles up there!! Took photos I'll upload if I remember.
