Plymouth to open Plymouth Rock Studios

PLYMOUTH, Mass. (WWLP) - Massachusetts is one step closer to having its own "Hollywood." The state's environmental chief has cleared the way for a proposed movie studio in Plymouth to move to the design and permitting phase. Massachusetts Environmental Affairs Secretary granted Plymouth Rock Studios a final waiver to build an access road and related infrastructure. Plymouth Rock Studios is expected to include 14 sound stages, a 10-acre back lot, and a theater on a 242-acre site. Supporters say the project is expected to generate more than 2-thousand jobs and develop into a unique tourist attraction. WWLP news link
