Palm Coast, FL – January 3, 2011
Carl Hampp, of Jacoby Development, confirmed that the deal for the historic aquatic park was finalized last week. The Georgia Aquarium, based in Atlanta, bought about five acres that include the oceanside attraction on the east side of State Road A1A in northern Flagler County, Jacoby Development’s interest in the Dolphin Conservation Field Station on the west side of A1A on the Intracoastal Waterway and a slightly smaller than one-acre pond near the field station on the west side of A1A.
Marineland
Wel, what happens to the money that Millisa Holland gave to build the new docks at Marineland?
Deep pockets,wood do it
As in the wood sold at Home Depot, who are the principals that started the Georgia Aquarium. They probably will sell memberships and have major improvments to bring it back as a great destination. That will bring in investment for revitalizing the area. Look now for anouncements of new construction like a Hotel/Resturant, and perhaps a new RV park. They are known to be high tech with 4D theaters and unique attractions of marine life. THIS IS A MAJOR POSITIVE FOR THE AREA!
no medical
