Neolithic and Bronze AgeWork on a proposed £12 million pound tourist attraction is expected to get under way this year with a feasibility study hoped to be completed by Easter. Kevin Blockley, the brains behind the scheme, said he had received a lot of positive feedback so far. A study into whether the proposed 100-acre Terra Nova project to chart agriculture through the ages - which is hoped to bring in 200,000 extra tourists each year - is set to get under way in the coming months.Mr Blockley, of Cambrian Archeological Projects, said funding was still being put into place for the study but hoped it would be finished by April.
He said that he had received a lot of positive feedback from people living near the proposed sites for the Eden Project-style attraction, which is currently being earmarked for the Llanidloes area and added that the town would reap the benefits if the scheme goes ahead.
He said: "Lots of people have said they think it's a good idea for the area and we have had no negative feedback yet."
The attraction is intended to include eight working farms, to bring alive the development of farming in Wales from its Neolithic beginnings to the present day.
