South Windsor Trying To Attract Film Studio Complex

The company envisions a $90 million complex in South Windsor that would consist of a series of soundstages that would then be leased to film and television production companies.

Sure, let’s see if this truly comes to fruition just like the same project that was going to be in the same area.“Snow Mountain” anyone? Grandiose ideas in these economic times. Mayor Prague is already campaigning. I can hear it now “Look, I helped bring a movie studio to town”. Town Manager Galligan is probably hoping they do build so it can take the heat off of him for the two bad land deals he got us into plus the Old Post Office.

nice paid vacation

Did you fail to notice that Pelkey and Hale are with them?

IMHO, this is worth investigating.

Pie in the sky. Who wants to be in the movies? Prague, Pelkey and Hale are fooling no one. There is an economic meltdown and they are vacationing with town staff in New Mexico. Taxes and spending are out of control and these so called leaders are dreaming of walk on parts in the next Terminator movie.

Politicians are great actors now they have a place to make movies? the 1st movie stars will be Bozo and TC playing in the "Greatest Circus clowns" in action! ps Rell and legislators will love this place! 2nd movie will be "who frame Perez" or "Rowland's Broken Dreams"

Come on. If they were looking for a boondoggle vacation, there are a lot of better choices than New Mexico.
Seems like a bit of a longshot, but a potentially great project if it works out right. Let's hope.

Longshot on taxpayer's dime. Mr. Prague is back & speaks out of both sides of his mouth at the same time?

Raise your kids right and dont rely on the tv to watch them. If you take an active interest in your kids upbringing then you should have nothing to worry about.

Thats right they will not watch that crap you got that right! But what happens when a porn Star buys a house on your Street or maybe next door? did you ever think of the many,many down side things? of course not! you heard of the story of the dog with the bone? thats why we have high taxes and many screw ups in Town! have a nice day.
