Prospect Meadows ballpark project wins state grant boost
Prospect Meadows in Cedar Rapids secured a 1.266 million dollar RISE grant from the Iowa Transportation Commission to fund half the cost of a new interior road and two entrances near County Home Road and Highway 13. Project head Jack Roeder welcomed the full grant as a major step forward. The Linn County Board of Supervisors extended the start deadline to year end and plans to lease county land to Prospect Meadows for 1 dollar annually if built, with crop revenue continuing for about 50 thousand dollars yearly to the county third year. Construction could begin as soon as late this year depending on progress.
