New film studio coming to Paulding County
HIRAM, Ga. -- Georgia is among the top five states in the nation for film and television productions. More than 335 productions were shot in the state in 2010, bringing in more than $759.3 million.
Now, Paulding County is ready to capitalize on its piece of this growing pie.
The Paulding County Industrial Building Authority (IBA) and Paulding County Board of Commissioners will break ground on a new full-service film and television production facility in Hiram at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday.
Dubbed Atlanta Film Studios Paulding County, this venture will be the first production facility in decades to be developed outside of Atlanta city limits.
