Clay County committee votes to recommend Big League Dreams

MIDDLEBURG, Fla. – The Clay County Commission's Economic Development committee has voted to recommend a five-field baseball pavilion in Middleburg that would cost between $19 million and $25 million.

The complex would be built by Big League Dreams, a company that builds smaller scale replicas of major league ballparks in cities around the country that are used primarily for kids baseball teams.
