Noah's Ark Coming to Heartland

The Australian evangelical businessman who brought America the highly successful, Creation Museum in 2007 is at it again. Last week, his new partners announced plans to build an Ark, a 450-ft long replica of the ship from Genesis on an 800-acre site in Northern Kentucky. While critics complain about the tax incentives offered by the state, the modern-day "for-profit" Noah's are moving ahead with their plans to build the $150 million Ark Encounter (and a Tower of Babel) by 2014. Estimates are that it will attract 1.6 million visitors during the first year, create 900 jobs, and have a $250 million economic impact. I'll keep you updated.
