Lionsgate is planning to the build the production hub on a 15-acre lot on Dayton Street, which used to be the Seth Boyden Houses.
"Bringing a project of this magnitude into Newark is a monumental victory for our city," Mayor Ras Baraka said."It will bring hundreds of new jobs, create new educational opportunities for our students, and invigorate the revitalization of the South Ward."It will also have a space for set building, post production editing, crew trucks and catering services.
The proximity to New York City makes New Jersey attractive, but another emerging reason is that officials in the region anticipate movie and TV makers moving production out of southern states like Georgia, with their laws increasingly unpalatable to the entertainment industry, and to states like New York, New Jersey and California.
The facility will be owned and operated by Great Point Studios, and as the facility's long-term anchor tenant, Lionsgate will receive naming rights to the studio. NJPAC will manage public affairs and community relations for the studio and create educational programs and internships for Newark high school and college students.
