Plymouth Planning Board Green Lights Studio Site Plan

Posted on: Tuesday, 5 May 2009, 14:21 CDT

PLYMOUTH, Mass., May 5 /PRNewswire/ -- The Plymouth Planning Board unanimously approved a master site plan for the Plymouth Rock Studios project last evening. The master site plan gives Plymouth Rock Studios the approval on general on-site and off-site elements of the project such as road improvements and traffic mitigation, landscape buffers, locations of buildings and development zones, and open space areas. The decision included a number of conditions related to a previously approved Memorandum of Understanding with the Town that Plymouth Rock Studios will be required to meet prior to construction.

"I would like to thank the planning board members and planning staff for all of their efforts leading up to this successful vote," said Bill Wynne, CEO of Plymouth Rock Real Estates Investments. "We are ready to comply with the conditions stipulated in the approval and look forward to moving on to the approval of our first development zone, which includes our soundstages and office buildings."

Now that the master site plan has been approved, Plymouth Rock Studios is scheduled to appear before the Planning Board again in early June to continue work on the site specific aspects of the project such as individual building designs.

It is anticipated that the project will employ up to 1,500 construction workers at its peak and up to 2,000 employees during full operation. Plymouth Rock Studios is a $500-million film and television studio complex in Plymouth, Massachusetts, slated to open in 2010 as the world's first LEED(R)-certified, environmentally friendly studio complex. The studio will have 14 soundstages and a 10-acre back lot, plus production offices, post-production facilities, a theater, hotel, and an amenity village.
