Prospect Meadows seeks grant for 14 million complex near Marion
Prospect Meadows, aiming to raise 14 million dollars for a 17-field baseball and softball complex near Marion, seeks a 2.8 million grant from Iowa’s Community Attraction and Tourism panel. The committee declined a larger ask, noting 5 million available funds, and advised reapplication with a slimmer plan. Local governments have pledged substantial support and a tourism tax incentive looms pending legislative action.
