Gartner eyes stadium move for Dubuque baseball
Michael Gartner owner of the Battle Creek Yankees says he would move the Class A Midwest League team to Dubuque if a $15 million riverfront stadium is built. He vows a 20 year lease and calls Dubuque a perfect match as Vision Iowa funds aid a $188 million riverfront facelift. Property taxes would rise about $16 yearly per home. The council will vote on sending bonding to voters on December 16.
