Plymouth Rock Studios Kicks Off State's Environmental Review Process

PLYMOUTH, Mass., Dec. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- State Environmental officials formally began the review process of the proposed Plymouth Rock Studios project by conducting a public comment session and site walk related to the Company's Expanded Environmental Notification Form (EENF) today.

The session was conducted by the Secretary of Environmental Affairs, Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA) Unit to review the project's permitting schedule and accept public comment. Over fifty Plymouth residents attended the forum at the Waverly Oaks Golf Course, future site of the studio complex, to ask questions and offer their support for the project.

"The beginning of the environmental review process by the Executive Office of Environmental Affairs is a significant step forward," said Plymouth Rock Studios managing Partner Bill Wynn. "We look forward to working with the town, state permitting officials and most importantly our future neighbors as the permitting and review process moves forward."
