Everything is right there. Airport and seaport is basically across 1&9. Train in Elizabeth and dozens of hotels. They won't ever have to go through downtown at all. All the surrounding property will be bought to build additional housing.
A lot of lives were lost and changed in Seth Boyden. I hope this positive move helps everyone because more ppl are going to be displaced.

The traffic on 1 & 9, 287, and the Parkway, among other routes, will be absolutely ATROCIOUS!!
Newark residents having first dibs on employment =/ Black people getting jobs.
I'll wait and see how this goes.

I remember they used to shoot Law And Order out here in Bergen County before Chris Oink Oink Christie got rid of the NJ film tax credit.

NJ red tape and bad decisions from the top is also why Boardwalk Empire was supposed to film in Jersey but DIDN'T .
High profile project about Atlantic City was shot outside of New Jersey.

Even the NJPAC, located in downtown Newark, is accessible without having to really go through downtown.
The look on Baraka's face shows the strain of having to address the things you brought up.
I see this as a net positive. Even as a kid, I felt like Newark was a big city, with a one-horse town mentality by past leaders (Gibson and James), Glad to see the city scratch the surface of what its potential can be.

Netflix plans $900M facility at former New Jersey Army base
Dec 21, 2022
Netflix said Wednesday it plans to build a state-of-the-art production facility at a former Army base at the Jersey Shore that will cost more than $900 million, and create thousands of jobs.
The subscription video streaming company will pay $55 million for a 292-acre site on the former Fort Monmouth military base in Eatontown and Oceanport.
The California-based company plans an additional $848 million worth of investments in 12 sound stages and for other uses related to the film industry.
“We’re thrilled to continue and expand our significant investment in New Jersey and North America,” said Ted Sarandos, the company’s co-CEO and chief content officer. “We believe a Netflix studio can boost the local and state economy with thousands of new jobs and billions in economic output, while sparking a vibrant production ecosystem in New Jersey.”
The announcement was made Wednesday evening, following a vote by the Fort Monmouth Economic Revitalization Authority to accept Netflix’s bid over three competing offers.
“This transformative investment will serve as a cornerstone in our efforts to create a thriving industry from whole cloth,” said New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, a Democrat. “As a result of nearly a billion dollars in film production spending, New Jersey will further solidify its status as an emerging national leader in the television and film industries
He also said the project will create new housing, hotel and film-related businesses in the area, which has suffered economically since the Army closed the base in 2011.The project is due to be completed in two phases over the course of several years.
The first will include the construction of a dozen sound stages, each ranging in size from 15,000 to 40,000 square feet (around 1,400 to 3,700 square meters).
Additional work may include office space, production services buildings and related studio space with the potential for consumer-focused components including retail uses.
“We are thrilled by the promise this Netflix project will deliver,” said Michele Siekerka, president and CEO of the New Jersey Business and Industry Association. “Jobs and innovation are at the heart of this Netflix-New Jersey partnership, just as they were throughout Fort Monmouth’s rich history.”
The plan still needs numerous levels of approvals from local and state officials.
Another TV and film production studio is set to be built in New Jersey on the site of a now-demolished public housing complex in Newark. The $125 million, 12-acres studio will be anchored by global entertainment provider Lionsgate, officials announced in .
