School board wants Kentucky Noah’s Ark to pay higher taxes

By Around the Web

(Associated Press) A Christian theme park with a 500-foot-long (152-meter-long) Noah’s Ark is not paying enough in property taxes, according to a Kentucky county school board.

Grant County’s school board filed a lawsuit against the Ark Encounter after losing an administrative appeal. The school board alleges the theme park has been undervalued by county officials.

The park in northern Kentucky preaches a literal interpretation of the Bible’s Old Testament. The centerpiece is a massive wooden ark that houses exhibits telling the biblical story of Noah, who built the giant boat to survive the flood.
