The Arizona Daily Sun reports the Coconino County Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 Tuesday to authorize creation of a special district that would have taxation powers to back up its financing, clearing a major hurdle for a long-in-the-works plan for a theme park
As planned by Williams officials, the theme park would be built on a 475-acre parcel on the city’s northern edge and a 21-acre downtown site would be used for an Arizona railroad museum.
State legislation enacted in 2005 authorized creation of the district.
