California firm takes over as developer of proposed Bible Park
Development of a proposed Middle Tennessee Bible Park USA is being turned over to Hollywood, Calif.-based Entertainment Development Group Inc., according to an announcement form the company.
The park was being developed by SafeHarbor Holdings Inc., a New York-based investment company. Developers had hoped to building the $175 million to $200 million Bible theme park just outside of Murfreesboro, but zoning for the park was defeated in a close vote by the Rutherford County Commission in May.
The legality of the zoning's defeat is being challenged in court by owners of the land where the park would have been built.
Wilson County officials have been working to attract the park to a location in their county, though no announcements regarding specific sites have been made....
