State of Ky. contacts Ed Hart's company about Kentucky Kingdom proposal

Posted: Updated:

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The state of Kentucky has contacted the Kentucky Kingdom Redevelopment Company about a proposal to reopen Kentucky Kingdom, according to a news release.

The amusement park has sat empty for three years and local supporters and Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear are eager to either move forward or move on with plans for the site.

On Wednesday afternoon, Ed Hart's company issued a news release indicating that a state representative contacted the company, "to answer some questions the state has about KKRC's response to its Requests for Proposals for reopening Kentucky Kingdom."

A meeting between Ky. Finance and Administration Cabinet officials and KKRC is being arranged for next week.

"Because of the sensitive nature of the discussions, KKRC will not make any comment about the negotiations while they are ongoing," Hart stated in the release. "We don't want to say or do anything that could jeopardize our goal of reopening Kentucky Kingdom."
