Field of Dreams funding proposals may include, but are not limited to, the building of new infrastructure, improving existing spaces through structural enhancements, and increasing activation of the spaces to provide effective, efficient and feasible solutions.
Proposals may also address the provision of capital investment in equipment or other furnishings that contribute to the programming capacity of the space.
