(October 28, 2008 NECN) – People in Plymouth, Massachusetts say they want their town to become Hollywood East. By a nearly unanimous vote Monday night at the Plymouth town meeting, residents approved a plan to build a movie studio at the site of Waverly Oaks golf course. They also supported a series of exemptions from local real estate taxes.
Plymouth Rock Studios says the $400-million project will create thousands of jobs and that they hope to begin construction by the spring.
