Ark Park Creators Counter Criticism Through Billboards

Answers in Genesis

The group trying to build a Noah’s Ark theme part in northern Kentucky has launched a billboard campaign to counter criticism over tax incentives and religious discrimination.   has this report.

The Courier-Journalreports that Answers in Genesis is putting up 16 billboards in Louisville, Lexington, Frankfort, and in northern Kentucky that will direct people to the group’s website for more information about the project.  Answers in Genesis says it hopes to dispel myths about the use of tax dollars and future hiring. 

Over the summer, the state gave preliminary approval of tax incentives totaling $18 million.  Final approval is on hold until Answers in Genesis can assure state officials it will not discriminate in hiring on the basis of religion.
