OFFICIAL STATEMENT
The information set forth herein has been obtained from the Issuer, the Borrower, DTC and other
sources which are believed to be reliable, but it is not guaranteed as to accuracy or completeness and it is
not to be construed as a representation by Ross, Sinclaire & Associates, LLC (the “Underwriter”). The
information and expressions of opinion herein are subject to change without notice, and neither the
delivery of this Official Statement nor any sale made hereunder shall, under any circumstances or at any
time, create any implication that information herein is correct as of any time subsequent to the date of this
Official Statement.
No dealer, broker, salesman or any other person has been authorized by the Issuer, the Borrower
or the Underwriter to give information or to make any representations, other than those contained herein,
in connection with the offering of the Series 2013 Bonds, and if given or made, such information or
representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the Issuer, the Borrower, the
Underwriter or any other entity.
The Series 2013 Bonds are not being registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in
reliance on an exemption from the Securities Act, nor has the Indenture been qualified under the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, in reliance on an exemption contained in such act. The registration or
qualification of the Series 2013 Bonds in accordance with applicable provisions of securities laws of the
states in which the Series 2013 Bonds have been registered or qualified and the exemption from
registration or qualification in other states cannot be regarded as a recommendation thereof. Neither these
states nor any of their agencies have passed upon the merits of the Series 2013 Bonds or the accuracy or
completeness of this Official Statement. Any representation to the contrary may be a criminal offense.
Under no circumstances shall this Official Statement constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an
offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer,
solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any
such jurisdiction.
The statements contained in this Official Statement, including, but not limited to, the information
contained in the Appendices hereto, and any other information provided by the Borrower that are not
purely historical, are forward-looking statements, including statements of the Borrower’s expectations,
hopes and intentions, or strategies regarding the future.
The forward-looking statements herein are necessarily based on various assumptions and
estimates, and are inherently subject to various risks and uncertainties, including risks and uncertainties
relating to the possible invalidity of the underlying assumptions and estimates and possible changes or
developments in social, economic, business, industry, market, legal and regulatory circumstances and
conditions and actions taken or omitted to be taken by third parties, including customers, suppliers,
business partners and competitors, and legislative, judicial and other governmental authorities and
officials. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things,
future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are
difficult or impossible to predict accurately, and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-
looking statements contained in this Official Statement will prove to be accurate.
IN MAKING AN INVESTMENT DECISION, INVESTORS MUST RELY ON THEIR OWN
EXAMINATION OF THE ISSUER, THE BORROWER, THE PROJECT AND THE TERMS OF THE
OFFERING, INCLUDING THE MERITS AND RISKS INVOLVED. THESE SECURITIES HAVE
NOT BEEN RECOMMENDED BY ANY FEDERAL OR STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION OR
REGULATORY ISSUER. FURTHERMORE, NO SUCH COMMISSION OR ISSUER HAS
CONFIRMED THE ACCURACY OR DETERMINED THE ADEQUACY OF THIS OFFICIAL
STATEMENT. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY MAY BE A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

City of Williamstown, Kentucky
$62,000,000*
Taxable Industrial Building Revenue Bonds, Series 2013
(Crosswater Canyon, Inc. Project)
INTRODUCTION
This Official Statement, which includes the cover page and the Appendices, is furnished by the
City of Williamstown, Kentucky (the “Issuer”) in connection with the offering by the Issuer of its
$62,000,000* Taxable Industrial Building Revenue Bonds, Series 2013 (Crosswater Canyon, Inc. Project)
(the “Series 2013 Bonds”). The Series 2013 Bonds are authorized by Ordinance No. 2013-20 duly
adopted by the City Council of the Issuer on July 16, 2013, and are being issued pursuant to §§ 103.200 to
103.285 of the Kentucky Revised Statutes, as amended (the “Act”), and a Trust Indenture dated as of
December 1, 2013 (the “Indenture”) between the Issuer and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee
(the “Trustee”).
PURPOSES OF ISSUE
Proceeds from the sale of the Series 2013 Bonds will be loaned by the Issuer to Crosswater
Canyon, Inc., a Kentucky nonprofit corporation (“Crosswater Canyon”) and Ark Encounter, LLC, a
Missouri limited liability company (“Ark Encounter, LLC” and together with Crosswater Canyon, the
“Borrower”). The funds will be used for the purposes of (i) financing a portion of the costs of the
acquisition, construction, installation and equipping of the initial phase of a biblically-themed educational
and entertainment complex to include a replica of the Ark of Noah and related facilities, located on
approximately 203.5 acres in the City of Williamstown, Kentucky, as more fully described in APPENDIX
A hereto (the “Project”); (ii) capitalizing a portion of the interest due on the Series 2013 Bonds through
and including April 1, 2016*; (iii) funding a deposit into the Reserve Fund with respect to the Series 2013
Bonds; and (iv) paying certain costs associated with the issuance of the Series 2013 Bonds. Additional
information regarding the Project is contained under the heading “THE BORROWER AND THE
PROJECT” herein and in APPENDIX A hereto.
The Series 2013 Bonds, together with any additional bonds that may be issued under the
Indenture on a parity with the Series 2013 Bonds (the “Additional Bonds,” and together with the Series
2013 Bonds, the “Bonds”), are special, limited obligations of the Issuer. The Series 2013 Bonds are
payable solely from (i) certain payments to be made by the Borrower to the Trustee for the account of the
Issuer pursuant to a Loan Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2013, between the Borrower and the Issuer
(the “Loan Agreement”), (ii) proceeds of the Series 2013 Bonds, (iii) the amounts in the funds and
accounts established by the Indenture, (iv) certain proceeds of condemnation or insurance received by the
Borrower and applied to the extraordinary redemption of the Series 2013 Bonds, as hereinafter described,
and (v) payments made with proceeds of such additional security as may be granted in favor of the
Holders of the Series 2013 Bonds subsequent to the issuance of the Series 2013 Bonds. Payments made
by the Borrower pursuant to the Loan Agreement are a general obligation of the Borrower, evidenced by a
* Preliminary, subject to change
promissory note (the “Series 2013 Note”) issued thereunder by the Borrower to the Issuer. Pursuant to
the Indenture, the Issuer will assign its rights to receive such payments under the Loan Agreement to the
Trustee as security for the payment of the Series 2013 Bonds. The Borrower’s obligations under the Loan
Agreement are secured by (i) a pledge of, and a first security interest in, the Borrower’s Gross Receipts,
which includes Project Revenues; (ii) an Open-End Mortgage and Security Agreement, dated as of
December 1, 2013, as amended and supplemented from time to time (as so amended and supplemented,
the “Mortgage”), from the Borrower, as mortgagor, to the Trustee, as mortgagee, pursuant to which the
Borrower has granted (subject to certain exceptions) a first mortgage security interest in the Project (as
defined herein) and other property and assets of the Borrower owned now or in the future comprising the
Mortgaged Property (as defined herein) to the Trustee, (iii) an Assignment of Rents and Leases, dated as
of December 1, 2013 (the “Assignment of Rents”) from the Borrower to the Trustee and (iv) a Collateral
Assignment of Agreements, dated as of December 1, 2013 (the “Collateral Assignment”) from the
Borrower to the Trustee, pursuant to which the Borrower has assigned to the Trustee all the plans,
specifications and contracts related to the Project, together with all permits, licenses and other
authorizations (to the extent such are assignable) necessary to operate the Project. See “SECURITY FOR
THE SERIES 2013 BONDS” herein. For summaries of certain provisions of the Indenture, the Loan
Agreement, the Mortgage and the Assignment of Rents, see APPENDIX B hereto.

Statement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of
