The amount awarded was based on a formula that qualified 35% of the capital invested in family-oriented components of the resort to be eligible for rebate. Myriad Tunica was the last applicant approved under the TIP program since it was discontinued June 30, 2005.

The Myriad Tunica resort is planned to be built on 540 acres of land, of which over 90% is anticipated to be dedicated to family-oriented entertainment, recreational and amusement venues and ancillary infrastructures. Planned resort features include: the world's first fully enclosed, climate-controlled championship golf course; a world class water park; a 400-ft observation wheel; a 1,200-room hotel-convention center; and multiple enclosed and open-air botanical gardens. The entire resort is themed to tell the story of the mighty Mississippi River, its history and its people.

Jimmy Gouras, of Jimmy Gouras - Urban Planning Consultants Inc., stated, "The Myriad Resort is the perfect project to receive this type of certification. I've been involved in hundreds of funding initiatives and I've never seen one so well suited to the needs of the community." Scott Hawrelechko, Chairman of Myriad Entertainment and Manager of Myriad Tunica added, "We believe that our participation in the TIP program is a positive one for Myriad Tunica and our stockholders in Myriad Entertainment.
