Plymouth Rock Studios took an important step forward today after the state's secretary of environmental affairs gave the OK for the project to file a single Environmental Impact Report, significantly shortening the timeframe of the studio's environmental review.Ian A. Bowles, secretary of energy and environmental affairs, says the studios will serve as a model for Hollywood execs and the booming local film and TV scene including proposed sites like SouthField Studios in Weymouth.
"The project includes a noteworthy commitment to design and build a state-of-the-art, green sustainable studio that will minimize the project's environmental footprint, provide exposure for renewable energy, technologies including a 500kw solar photovoltaic system, and serve as a model for developers in Massachusetts and studio heads in Hollywood," Bowles adds.
Slated to open Sept. 2010, Plymouth Rock Studios will become a major staging area and production studio for filmmakers and offer an educational component.
Approved by Plymouth on Oct. 27, 2008, the full-service "green" film and TV studio facility will boast 14 sound stages--ranging in size from 18,000 to 24,000 square feet--and would be built on the site that's currently a 240-acre golf course.
