A proposed Noah's Ark theme park is praying for a flood of tax incentives to help get itself off the ground.

Ark Encounter is applying with Kentucky's Tourism Development Finance Authority for inclusion in a program that grants tourist attractions up to a 25 percent rebate on sales tax collected from admissions, concessions and the like, according to The Courier-Journal. As the paper notes, the rebates could total up to $18.25 million over 10 years.
