Lawmakers OK tax rebates to benefit ‘Field of Dreams’ site

DYERSVILLE — Iowa lawmakers have passed legislation to offer tax rebates that could benefit construction of a sports complex at the “Field of Dreams” movie site.

The Republican-controlled House voted 77-18 Monday for legislation that would provide sales tax rebates to owners who spend at least $10 million on a baseball and softball complex. There’s $5 million available in total and a single recipient could receive up to $2.5 million. The Senate passed the bill and it now heads to Gov. Terry Branstad.
