This site present information about the
historic theme parks |
It is an economy development plan that calls for us to do what we can with what we have and do it now.
It proposes developing our many historic resources into a complex of historic theme parks.
The plan is designed to maximize potential while minimizing risk.
This is accomplished through constructing the parks in four phases.
Operation Bootstrap shows how the parks can be built at no cost to Petersburg residents.
When complete, the parks will provide the city with over $30,000,000 a year in income.
They will create over 500 new jobs, revitalize the retail economy and foster new industries.
This should be a community project and the documents listed below provide all the details.
But start off with the Introduction, as it provides a comprehensive overview.
Check back here for updates to the various reports.
Because of this the parks have been renamed "American Adventure."
For full details, see the below report.
1. The longest, most diverse and colorful history of any city in the United States. See below report.
2. Outstanding location - Located directly on Interstate 95 - the main interstate traffic corridor on the east coast.
Warm Mid-Atlantic weather permits year around operation of attractions.
3. Land. The city owns 149 acres of land. That's only 11 acres smaller than Disneyland, California.
It entertained 18 million guests in 2010. The land is shown on the plat below.
