An economic study has determined a John Ball Zoo aquarium should be located in Kent County.
Jessica Powell leads the group of people choosing to boycott John Ball Zoo. Powell says this is because the zoo has refused to take the community's concerns over a new parking area seriously.
Commissioners voted in favor of changes to the Zoo's master plan which would allow adding paved parking spaces.
Nearby residents are worried about the zoo's planned parking expansion paving over a portion of John Ball Park.
The debate continued Tuesday over the John Ball Zoo and its master plan after County Commissioners listened to nearly three hours of public comment and presentations from zoo staffers.
