SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - Over a dozen people spoke at a public forum Thursday against Aurora's plans to purchase Field of Dreams North to build a new outpatient surgery and office buildings.
Some say the plan between Aurora, the city of Sheboygan, and the Sheboygan Area School District came about under secrecy for fears it would not have public support.
Others, like nearby resident Jonathan Bemis, say losing the park area will do great harm to this region of the city. "We are opposed to having our neighborhood become a green-less, commercial oriented neighborhood," says Bemis.
Aurora has offered to help replace sports fields on Field of Dreams across Taylor Drive, but some say that will not be enough.
