Bridgeport Board Considers Plan For Movie Studios
|
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) - Bridgeport's zoning board is being asked to approve a Wilton company's plans to build a movie production facility in the city.
Clearlight Group, a multimedia company, is proposing to build a 60,000-square-foot film studio on Seaview Avenue.
The project is the second of its kind to be planned in the area. In April, Hollywood East/Area 51 was chosen to redevelop the 78-acre former Army engine plant site on Main Street in Stratford.
If it goes forward, the Stratford project could have as many as 30 sound stages.
Clearlight says its Bridgeport facility would provide full support to the film, TV, music video, video game and advertising industries.
The Bridgeport zoning board will consider the plan next week.
