A Country Corner theme park/development similar to the one in Branson, Missouri, has broken ground 45 minutes north of the New Panama City International Airport. Its theme is country music.
The park is expected to add 1000 new jobs when it opens for business and 5000 new jobs by the time it is complete. Millions of country music fans are expected to fly in from all over the world, rent a car, head off to their beach condos or hotels for a rest and then off to hear their favorite singers and entertainers at “Country Corner”.
