The concrete busts are intended to be featured in a 17- million dollar outdoor attraction called Presidents Park.

The developer is hoping to build the park in York County.
But critics say the heads are too tacky for a region that features Jamestown, Yorktown and Colonial Williamsburg.
The Board of Supervisors had hoped to decide next month whether to grant a special permit for the busts.
But now say they're going to wait until a court decides whether the park's developer needs a special permit.
