Dyersville City Council Approves Incentives For 3 Projects

The Dyersville City Council has approved up to $5.3 million in tax-increment rebates on three separate projects, including for a boutique hotel at the Field of Dreams site. The council members in attendance unanimously approved development agreements for the 104-room boutique hotel, the expansion and relocation of manufacturer Ancient Brands Milling and the new building that houses Woodland Eye Clinic. The agreement between the city and This is Heaven LLC, the Frank Thomas-led entity that purchased a controlling interest in Go the Distance Baseball, which owns the Field of Dreams, calls for $3.2 million in tax-increment rebates for the boutique hotel over a 12-year period starting in 2025. The hotel is part of an $80 million in private investment at the Field of Dreams, along with a recreational sports complex.
