The flag itself will be larger than a football field and the pole will feature a 360-degree observation deck close to the top.

A bold plan to build a $1 billion patriotic theme park in Maine would contain the world's tallest flagpole, soaring a symbolic 1,776 feet above sea level, and one of the largest-ever American flags.
The proposal comes from the family behind Wreaths Across America.
The park's purpose is even more ambitious than its size: Heal a divided nation through the shared sacrifice for all Americans represented by the star-spangled banner's broad stripes and bright stars.
"Everyone feels the division we're all experiencing right now," Rob Worcester, managing director of the Flagpole of Freedom Park, told Fox News Digital. "We hope this creates an opportunity for Americans to come together."

The plan is to break ground in 2023 and open the first phase of the park on July 4, 2026, the nation's 250th birthday.
Additional highlights include an observation deck atop of the flagpole, offering 360-degree views of the Atlantic Ocean and the Pine Tree State's dense forests; a 900-foot long Disney-style Main Street in the Village of Old Glory featuring shops, eateries and entertainment; and walls of remembrance honoring all 24 million Americans who have served in the military throughout the nation's history.

Why am I convinced the ACLU will get wind of this and do everything they can to put a stop to it?

Sounds really cool but it’ll turn into Maine’s version of Branson within a few years

Progressives will want a groomer flag added

Sounds like a giant eyesore, but as long as it's privately funded, have at it.

That’s so racist towards all the illegal aliens that are in the country. That flag will make them uncomfortable and it doesn’t support minorities.
Doesn’t matter if this country gives them every opportunity to do amazing things, we should make sure they are emotionally comfortable at all times

Just the thought of this place would send your average liberal into the stratosphere.

Shouldn't it be a statue of some black fentenol user?

Sounds like a racist and fascists dog whistle.

Go ahead and run a few copper lines to the main power grid. It can be more than a “lightening” rod that triggers folks.

60 billion could have done some good here. Did we learn nothing from Afghanistan?
