ASG has signed a deal with the city of Hamilton to build on the Barton-Tiffany lands. ASG plans to build 500,000 square feet of stage space in Hamilton, the first 150,000 of which\u00a0will be operational within\u00a0a year.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hamilton is the perfect place for a production hub in the west end of the Greater Toronto Area because of its proximity to diverse filming locations, thriving arts and culture workforce, limited traffic congestion and because productions that film there qualify for additional provincial tax credits,\u201d said ASG partner Mike Bruce.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis film and production hub will create high-value, high-paying jobs for people in the film industry right here in Hamilton,\u201d added Mayor Fred Eisenberger. \u201cIt will see the rejuvenation of a brownfield located in the heart of our city, and see this area transformed into a beautiful, campus-like environment, fully accessible to the community and conveniently located next to the West Harbour GO station and near our future LRT.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCreative industries are very much one of our key focuses in Hamilton and this investment means new jobs, new taxes and new focus on this city,\u201d said Hamilton Economic Development Director Glen Norton. \u201cWe look forward to finalizing this purchase agreement and starting the development process as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aeon Studio Group (ASG) has announced plans to build a new television and film production hub in Hamilton, Ontario, encompassing sound stages, post-production facilities, training centers and residential and retail space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":290,"featured_media":2557,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[497,498],"class_list":["post-2556","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-aeon-studio-group-asg","tag-hamilton-studio-district"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
