Supporters of a proposed sports complex in western Fort Madison have received some good news from the state.
Tim Gobble with Fort Madison Partners says more than $2-million has been pledged or donated to build three baseball/softball diamonds and three football/soccer fields.
That includes $1.25-million from Fort Madison’s branch of the Southeast Iowa Regional Riverboat Commission, $500,000 from the city, and $175,000 from Pinnacle Foods.
That’s more than 60% of what is needed for the project to move forward.
