Iowa Town Annexes Field of Dreams
Plans by Oak Lawn residents Michael and Denise Stillman to build a baseball and softball complex called All-Star Ballpark Heaven on the site of the “Field of Dreams” movie took a step forward last week when the City Council in Dyersville, Iowa, voted to annex the property.
Dyersville city officials last month approved a memorandum of understanding with the Stillmans regarding the property and the project.
Iowa state officials are on board with the plan and Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad has signed a state tax break for the project.
A call to Denise Stillman at All-Star Ballpark Heaven was not returned.
