So much for the benefits to the local communities. Maybe they'll think twice in the future.

Buoyed by promises from Ham and others that the "biblical theme park" would bring a flood of tourism and prosperity, the city voted to sell the Ark 100 acres of land for $1, while also giving them hundreds of thousands in cash. The city also issued Ham’s company $62 million in unsecured bonds and arranged for them to be repaid via diversion of tax revenue. The film shows that the promised prosperity never materialized, with Williamstown businesses shuttering.
