School Board Votes To Sell Dubuque Soccer Complex

Dubuque Community School Board members voted Monday to sell the Dubuque Soccer Complex to an Arizona-based company that plans to construct an indoor sports facility at the site. The 5-2 vote followed a public hearing in which more than 30 people spoke, both in support of Court One and in support of Dubuque Soccer Alliance, which has leased the complex since 1993. Court One submitted a bid of $1.8 million to purchase the complex. The company proposes to build a more-than-100,000-square-foot facility over two of the complex’s soccer fields, featuring basketball courts, volleyball courts, a soccer field, a baseball and softball field and batting cages.
