Zoo to request another tax grant

Speaking of the zoo, expansion plans to build a cheetah run, a home for anteaters and a playground area near the giraffe barn are on track for completion next spring, CEO John Chapo said.

A $2.1 million grant of Lancaster County lodging tax dollars in 2016 helped pay for the first phase of zoo expansion, which opened this spring.

But Chapo said he plans to ask for another $600,000 in grant money to help cover financing for the project, he said.

As part of his presentation to the County Board last week, Chapo said the zoo had raised an additional $18 million in private funds needed to pay for $20 million in construction.
