Noah's Ark theme park Gets the final green light in Kentucky

Things are about to biblical in Kentucky. Thursday, Kentucky Tourism Development Finance Authority gave its final approval to grant of 40 millions of dollars in tax rebates to construct a park in biblical theme called "the meeting of the Ark".

Controversial Museum, supported in part by Mike Zovath, co-founder of the answers to the Ministry of Genesis which already built Kentucky 70.00 square foot creation Museum, received funding after months of back and forth on the legitimacy of a religious attraction, funded by the Government of the State.

Any, Kentucky Tourism Development Finance Authority voted unanimously to grant rebates of tax for the project, which is scheduled to $ 172 million (visitors to see the Ark Web site a tab "donate here") of more than $ 40 million.

Zovath told the Associated Press: "It was the last hurdle real for us as I am concerned." Of the Zovath, he claims, is intended to dispel doubts about the biblical event.

The project will include a replica of the Tower of Babel, conference rooms, boutiques, theatres and, of course, a zoo for children (it will be 2 of each animal?) and live shows. ABC News announced in December, when plans were first announced that the Ark will be larger than a history of 3 buildings, the bridge more 35 tennis courts, and could be big enough to accommodate 600 cars inside.

A consultant who considered the proposal of the State Tourism Office stated that the project will probably attract 1.4 million visitors per year. This is what Governor Steve Beshear is designed for, at least. He hopes the Park will employ some 600 to 700 people and will bring to $ 250 million the first year only. For those who rely, the creation Museum has attracted more than 1 million visitors since its opening more than 3 years ago.

But the Americans United for separation of Church and State have something to say. "The Director realization General company, Barry w. Lynn, told the AP that Kentucky" should not promote the spread of Christianity or any other point of view religious fundamentalists. "Let these people build their fundamentalist Disneyland without government assistance." He added: "this misguided project merit to sink." (Get?)

Response from Zovath: "more they try to paint us in a bad light, the more opportunities we have explain the project.
