Netflix To Turn Former Army Base Into Studio
By Alyssa Riccardi MONMOUTH COUNTY – Netflix is officially coming to New Jersey, as it recently announced its plan after purchasing Fort Monmouth. The entertainment company will develop a state-of-the-art east coast production facility on the decade-long vacant site. According to a Governor Phil Murphy, the project will create more than 1,500 permanent production jobs and more than 3,500 construction-related jobs in New Jersey. “This transformative investment will serve as a cornerstone in our efforts to create a thriving industry from whole cloth,” Governor Murphy said. “As a result of nearly a billion dollars in film production spending, New Jersey will further solidify its status as an emerging national leader in the television and film industries. Additionally, Netflix’s substantial direct investment will stimulate job creation and spark an entirely new ecosystem of housing, hotels, and ancillary businesses and services, bringing with it countless additional jobs and boosting the regional economy.” The project will be completed in two phases over the course of several years. Phase one will consist of building 12 soundstages adjacent to Route 35 in Eatontown and Oceanport. They will range in size from 15,000 (Studio - See Page 3)

an outlet for artists ⎼ a creation of space to share and connect with others who have similar interests in creative writing. Cord Moreski, a local writer and host of Coffee and Words, began working with the Asbury Park Roastery more than a year ago (Poets - See Page 3)
