NORTH PORT — A deadline is fast approaching for California-based Big League Dreams — which designs and builds scaled-down versions of major league ballparks — to decide if it wants North Port to be home to its first Florida-based facility.
If not, the company will have to pay the city back a $450,000 licensing fee by July 11, the end of a two-year licensing agreement that kept the company from building a facility anywhere along the Gulf Coast from Hillsborough County south to Collier County.
