Film Studio Development Proposal Discussed In West Orange: VIDEO

WEST ORANGE, NJ — The discussion about a proposed redevelopment agreement that could potentially bring a film studio to West Orange continued at this week’s town council meeting.

There was no official action on the proposed agreement between the township and Matrix Development Group at Monday’s meeting. Watch footage from the meeting below (video is cued to the discussion).

However, the meeting drew a high-profile supporter of the proposal: New Jersey Assemblyman John McKeon, a former mayor of West Orange who recently emerged victorious in the state Senate race in the 27th District. Read More: Election Wins For McKeon, Bagolie, Collazos-Gill In NJ-27
