It's A Great Time To Live In Plymouth MA

Have you been following the developments at Plymouth Rock Studios? Viewed by many as the Number One development initiative in Southeastern Mass, this $500 million dollar film and television studio production project is slated for development on 240 acres of land currently home to Waverly Oaks Golf Course near Route 3 Exit 3 in Plymouth and hopes to open for business in late 2010. They recently became the first development project in the state to apply for funding through the Massachusetts I-Cubed Economic Incentive Package which is designed to help fund significant new public infrastructure improvements through the issuing of bonds for qualifying projects. In addition, it's recently received approvals from the Massachusetts Attorney Generals' Office and also expects to be certified by the US Green Building Council for its dedication to reduced use of energy and water. They also recently won financial support from C Change Investments LLC, a venture capital firm based in Cambridge MA that invests in environmentally friendly and energy-efficient projects.

Next, studio officials will be before the Spring Town Meeting with several articles related to seeking approvals for the creation of an access road to the site. There's an amazing amount of work going on and all eyes are keeping a hopeful watch for a shovel to go into the ground later this year.

The impact that this project will have on the local economy is HUGE. Many many construction jobs as well as permanent jobs will be created, housing values will rise, and the local tourism industry will benefit, just to name a few. We can't wait!

In the meantime, Plymouth continues to be a popular place to live, with affordable home costs, enjoyable recreational activities, miles of oceanfront, championship golf courses, one-of-a-kind historic attractions and lots more.
