Netflix plan to build massive N.J. studio gets key approval

Netflix’s plans to build a $903 million production studio complexat the former Fort Monmouth army base got a key approval from a local board Wednesday.

The Fort Monmouth Economic Revitalization Authority board, the governing body that oversees the fort, unanimously approved an amendment to establish zoning for the massive project.

The vote allows the streaming service and entertainment company to move ahead with getting other local approvals to build the planned studio complex. It also allows affordable housing units currently located at the fort to be relocated to a different location on the site, a spokesperson for the board said Thursday.

On Wednesday, a source close to Netflix said the company is pleased with the decision and is looking forward to engaging with the community further throughout the process.

The Fort Monmouth Economic Revitalization Authority board has 10 members, including a representative of the governor, the Monmouth County commissioner, the mayors of Eatontown, Oceanport and Tinton Falls and three state agency commissioners.

Netflix was the top bidder to acquire the 292-acre “mega parcel” in 2022. The property covers about a quarter of U.S. Army base that closed in 2011.

The sprawling Netflix complex would include 12 soundstages, totaling nearly 500,000 square feet, adjacent to Route 35 in Eatontown and Oceanport in Monmouth County, according to the San Francisco-based entertainment company.

This week’s zoning plan approval is one of the first steps in a complex process to get local officials to sign off on the project. The Fort Monmouth Economic Revitalization Authority staff also need to review the site plans for the complex before the proposal goes to the planning boards in Eatontown and Oceanport, officials said.

Netflix is expected to contribute $848 million in capital investments to the studio project. In addition to the 12 soundstages, the complex is slated to include a hotel, a helicopter pad, office buildings and visitor attractions.

In December 2022, Gov. Phil Murphy gave his stamp of approval at a conference with Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos. Murphy said the production studios will help turn New Jersey into the “Hollywood of the East Coast.”

    Speaking of cheap….I cracked my iPhone 11 screen again yesterday. Amazon delivered the replacement same day in about 3 hours. Prices are $18 bucks and up. This is the third screen replacement for this phone I have done. I also changed my son’s phone screen twice as well as two iPad screen.

    Really super cheap part and a moderate effort to replace.. Too bad I need to wear glasses so if you ever plan on doing one yourself pick up a pack of extra screws too they are easy to drop and lose.

    “Once Dolt 45 seizes the presidency…”

    Nothing highlights the distinction(s) between red-state men and blue-state men more than Trump. I’m generalizing of course, but whereas red-state men are willing to overlook T’s abrasive and at times un-presidential demeanor because they recognize that he’s competent, largely correct on the issues, has a record of achievement, and is willing to challenge the DC swamp, more feminized blue-state men overlook his achievements and are willing to live with the thoroughly corrupt and incompetent Joe/Dems simply because T is ‘mean’. Makes sense that a naive teenager or easily frightened woman would think this way, but it’s very unbecoming for a grown man.

  22. LAX says:

    Hahahahaha Trump Hahahahaha is a known imbecile spewing nonsense and spreading stupidity in his wake. He’s not mean. He’s not an alpha.

    Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump reported between $172 million and $640 million in outside income while working in the White House, according to an analysis of financial disclosures by CREW. It is impossible to tell the exact amount as the income is sometimes reported in broad ranges and cover four months of income before Ivanka Trump officially joined her father’s administration and nearly one month before Jared Kushner joined.

    Both Kushner and Trump announced they would not take a salary while working for the government in an attempt to shut down nepotism concerns. While their supporters marked this as a public sacrifice, the massive amount of money they made on the side undercuts that argument, as government salaries would have been less than 1% of their income.

    One major factor in their outside profits came from Ivanka Trump’s ownership stake in the Trump Hotel in DC, just blocks from the White House and the locus of influence peddling in the Trump administration. Before business slowed down due to the pandemic, the couple paid a combined 23 visits to the hotel. All told, Ivanka made more than $13 million from the hotel since 2017, dropping from about $4 million a year between 2017 and 2019 to about $1.5 million last year, at least in part due to the pandemic. On top of the drop in revenue, there’s an unexplained drop in the value of her ownership. Having previously claimed it to be worth between $5 million and $25 million, in her final disclosure she listed it as only worth $100,000 to $250,000. She did not report selling any of her ownership share in the hotel.

    The hotel was far from Ivanka Trump’s only controversial source of income while working in the White House. In 2018, Ivanka announced she was shutting down her namesake brand, and she later filed a disclosure with the government that “[a]ll operations of the business ceased on July 31, 2018.” But we discovered that she still made up to $1 million from it in 2019 despite the fact that she claimed it no longer existed.

    Interesting. If O’Biden wins, that means a steady flow of illegals, a further decay of cities, a greater uptick in crime and more scenes reminiscent of the movie, “The Joker.” Also, pilfering more tax dollars to prop up the blue failures as well as propping up Ukraine.

    If Trump wins, the border gets sealed immediately, drilling and fracking increases enormously putting pressure on Russia to drop oil prices even lower, draining their money supply and ability to rearm. NATO pays a greater share, China sits the fuck down, corporations feel confident to reinstate R&D plans and criminals get the book thrown at them.

    Any questions?

    Now that Joe has no legitimate chance of winning Georgia — given that one of his illegals has allegedly killed a young nursing student there — it’ll be interesting to see how far the Dems will go to steal the state in Nov.

    I can drive 10 minutes outside Ithaca and engage all the kool-aid swilling, racist d-bags I want. The common denominator among them is that none have any sort of ability to engage in critical thinking or show regard for anyone other than their fellow dumb white males. They’re also quite easily manipulated and seem to have an endless thirst for voting against their own best interests. If life is indeed the endless game of Prisoner’s Dilemma they imply it is, they are constant losers of that game.

    In fact, it’s so easy to find these chuds close to me that I have no intention of engaging such nonsense on this blog. Just here to check in on grim and the gang.
