Sounds like a great project, I will look more into it.

Any news or progress on this? Everything I've read says an opening in 2009, so shouldn't stuff be starting to roll soon?

According to the original article, the very earliest this could open would be at the end of 2009. Also, the studio would require much less labor than the other Gillespie projects.

Any latest news on city center studios?

I've heard nothing, which seems odd. I hope this project isn't dead.

Coolbrezze

Yeah, although it seems like there have been a studio project moving forward around the Detroit area.

I haven't read much into it, but I thought I heard 3 studios are proposed for the Detroit area. Do you know any specifics Lmich?

Matt Martyn of Ahptic Film and Digital mentions the $9 million studio that it is on hold as long as the legislature is considering rescinding some of the 42% tax incentives. To be honest, I'm pleasantly surprised that they are still considering it at all. I assumed the idea was completely dead before hearing this.
