Congratulations to the folks of Rutherford County who came together to oppose the (unconstitutional) monstrosity that was threatening to be forced down their throats by short-sighted government officials and greedy developers!
The Rutherford County Commission rejected a rezoning request for the proposed Bible Park USA in the Blackman community.
SafeHarbor Holding LLC, the park’s developer, was seeking rezoning of 282 acres north of state Route 840 and west of Florence Road from a residential zoning to a planned unit development to allow the construction of the park.
Nine commissioners voted against the rezoning and 12 vote for the rezoning, but that was not enough to make the two-thirds majority required.
It's a victory not only for Blackman residents who don't want that thing, but for everyone who opposes taxpayer dollars going to fund explicitly religious projects.
