Northeast Town Transforms Into Entertainment Capital
A northeastern town has transformed over the past 15 years into the country's premier entertainment center, driven by tax incentives, available land and local government support, hosting over 300 film and TV projects and generating an estimated $2.8 billion and 15,000 jobs. However, climate change—18% less rainfall and 3.2°F warmer summers—and technological shifts like virtual production threaten long-term sustainability, prompting major investments in water recycling, renewable energy and LED volume stages.
