$22 million upgrade for Field of Dreams
DYERSVILLE - Mayor Jim Heavens expects the revamp of the “Field of Dreams” movie site in Dyersville to cost around $22 million.
The site, which became a tourist attraction after the movie was released in 1989, was recently sold, and the new owners plan to build a youth baseball and softball training complex on some of the land.
Heavens said the money for the project would come from a combination of sources: the property owners, private investors, local tax dollars and - depending on the outcome of a meeting later this month with Gov. Terry Branstad - possibly state funding.
