More Unity Studios details from Mifilmtourage.com on April 18, 2009:

The scope of this project is massive and once completed will be more like a city within a city. As I mentioned previously, the project will house offices, sound stages, production facilities, educational facilities, as well as retail — a fully comprehensive film mecca.

The complex’s educational facilities will be home to one of the most ambitious retraining programs ever attempted. The goal is to help the 1000s of unemployed find skills and specialties in the film industry based on knowledge they already pocess. The project will add over 3000 jobs once completed. Downriver residents will receive priority hiring.

Although an official construction start date has not been announced, late summer or early fall seems likely.

More good news coming from Michigan’s tax incentives

Story from the Associated Press:

Allen Park getting $146M movie production complex

ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — The Detroit suburb of Allen Park is expected to be home to a new $146 million film and television production complex.

 The Detroit Free Press and The Detroit News report details are expected to be announced Tuesday afternoon (3:00pm). Project spokesman Roger Martin says the studio will employ thousands of skilled workers.

The complex is expected to occupy the site of a former technical center for auto parts maker Visteon Corp.

Michigan has been drawing more moviemakers since tax incentives went into effect last year. Officials in February announced planned production studios in Detroit and Pontiac that are expected to bring thousands of jobs.
