Ark Park to sue Kentucky for discrimination over tax incentives

Posted | Contributed by Jeff

Answers in Genesis, the group seeking to build a Noah's Ark theme park in Kentucky, said Tuesday it will file a federal discrimination lawsuit against the state for rejecting its application for tax incentives to help finance the park. Tourism officials in December denied tax incentives worth roughly $18 million for the Ark Encounter over concerns that it had evolved from a tourist attraction to an effort to advance a religion and that developers planned to discriminate in hiring based on religion.
