More details expected tomorrow morning
Effingham County is going to be getting a "large movie studio."
That's according to Rick Lott, the executive director of the Effingham County Chamber of Commerce.
"That's all I'm at liberty to say," Lott said this afternoon.
The Industrial Development Authority has a special meeting scheduled for 8 a.m. tomorrow morning, to consider the "Project Magnolia memorandum of understanding."
John Henry, chief executive officer of the IDA, said he "cannot confirm nor deny" reports that the deal concerns a movie studio.
IDA Board Member Charles Hinely said he knows Project Magnolia is "a big project" and that it's at the IDA's property on Interstate 16.
But he said he has not been told what type of business the project concerns. "We're not told until we make a decision," he said.
