'Field of Dreams' Project Faces Key Vote In Iowa

The Dyersville City Council is scheduled to vote next month on annexing property for the "Field of Dreams" movie site.

At its special meeting Monday night, the council set the vote for July 2.

City officials say the annexed property could help the site access Dyersville's water and sewer systems.

An Illinois couple has announced plans to buy the farmhouse and baseball field featured in the 1989 film, along with the surrounding land, to build the "All-Star Ballpark Heaven." The complex would include 24 baseball and softball diamonds.

Gov. Terry Branstad has signed into law a tax break for the project.

Some neighbors worry about the project's impact, which could include more traffic on small country roads and noise and light pollution, plus flooding from the facility's runoff.
