Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Land acquisition, theatre construction, pre-first year and first year production expenses for a drama to portray the founding of the state and the history and heritage of pioneers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Services Provided/Benefit to State:

 

 

 

 

 

The play will be a drawing card for a family vacation/fun attraction for the entire state - especially the nearly 12 million residents within a 200 mile first visit/repeat visit radius, plus a destination for hundreds of thousands of trourists who visit our state each year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measurable Outcome Anticipated:

 

 

 

 

 

This project will have a large, positive economic impact on Highlands County and other surrounding counties.  It will offer citizens and tourists to Florida a place to learn more about the early settlers of our state.  After the play begins operating, it is designed to be a self-supporting project.
