Largely, yes.
The TIF District will pay a portion of the taxes for 30 years. The 70+ acres of land that they gave to Ham for $1 are gone. Further rebates on the property taxes could (but won't, seeing attendance numbers) reach $18 million. The state paid for the upgrade to the exit ramp on I-75 for traffic that isn't coming.
Literally, the parking lot for the Ark Encounter is larger than the actual town of Williamstown.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
